Chair

  • prof. dr. Annette Markham

  • Annette focuses on how young adult identities and social frameworks are impacted by digital media use and human-AI interactions in everyday work, educational, and professional life. Her research aims to facilitate stronger and more proactive critical literacies around digital futures. Her approaches involve participatory action research, guided autoethnography, creative practice interventions, and interdisciplinary creative methods.

Chair

  • prof. dr. Jaap Denissen

  • I work as full professor of developmental psychology at the Faculty of Social Science. My research has explored predictors of how adolescents and young adults establish satisfying peer and romantic relationships, create a mature identity, and achieve other developmental tasks. In close connection with other researchers, but also with societal stakeholders and youth themselves, we can really make a difference in uncovering and facilitating how young people become adults in a changing world.
