Education

During my classes, I engage with reflexive, experiential, and arts-based teaching methods. An example of personal and artistic initiatives taken by students within my course ‘Empowerment for Sustainability’ can be found here . For the coordination of this course, I received for three times a Wageningen University Excellent Education Award.

Furthermore, I facilitate (transdisciplinary) processes of participation in between academia and society. An example of awarded students’ projects, within the course ‘Academic Consultancy Training’ connecting academia-society which I coordinate, can be found here
