Teaching

I have been teaching at universities since 2007. Since 2026, I have served as Academic Director of my department’s B.Sc. program in Social Sciences. I hold the Dutch University Teaching Qualification (BKO, Basiskwalificatie Onderwijs).

As a sociologist and a teacher, I see my task as challenging and guiding students in the pursuit of three overarching learning goals:

• Inspire students’ interest in societal issues and develop their ability to think sociologically
• Cultivate an appreciation and understanding of scientific methods
• Provide fundamental knowledge and tools applicable to students’ future careers

I have also served as a mentor in several programs, including those of the Leibniz Association and RWTH Aachen University (TANDEM mentoring).
