I mainly teach in the BA program Communication and Information Science and sometimes in the MA program Communication and Organization at Utrecht University. You can find out more about the courses that I teach in the current academic year via this webpage.
Since 2019, I have been involved (first as teacher, now as coordinator) in the BA-course Communication, Media & Interaction. This course focuses on the role of the medium in communication between people, which students learn both by engaging critically with empirical literature and by experiencing small experimental studies themselves during the course.
I also teach in the course Communication, Emotion, and Persuasion and I often supervise groups of BA or MA thesis students on topics related to (narrative) persuasive communication about sustainable or health topics. I really enjoy working together with students to help them cultivate their (academic and personal) skills in their own research projects.
Since September 2022, I am also the chair of the curriculum committee (opleidingscommissie) for the bachelor program Communication and Information Sciences. And since September 2024, I am the tutor coordinator of the Faculty of Humanities. In this role, I get to be part of a workgroup that is developing a new learning journey on personal and professional development for all Humanities students. This activity ties in closely with my view that an academic/university education should pay attention both to students’ academic, but also their personal development. Helping my students grow both academically and personally is one of the biggest joys of my role as teacher.
