Jasmijn Van Gorp is Assistant Professor of Audiovisual Heritage. She received her BA and MA in Communication Sciences from KULeuven (Belgium) and her PhD in Social Sciences from the University of Antwerp (Belgium). Prior to her current position, she held a visiting scholar position at the Comparative Media Studies/Writing program at MIT (Boston) and a senior researcher position at the CREATE lab of the University of Amsterdam.

Jasmijn is the co-founder of the CLARIAH Media Suite, an integrated digital research infrastructure for audiovisual heritage in the Netherlands. Her research interests include AI-techniques (a.o. ASR), digital humanities, (digital) research methods and digital archives. 

In the field of education, Jasmijn's focus is on teaching digital skills, methods and theories. She has co-authored a pioneering article on digital tool criticism (2019) that advocates for integrating critical reflection skills when teaching (the mastering of) digital tools. In addition, Jasmijn has co-authored the Digital Skills learning trajectory for the BA programs of the Faculty of the Humanities. With Christian Gosvig Olesen she has launched the Media Suite Learn project, an open education portal that aims to train researchers and students in digital skills for audiovisual heritage research. Hence, she is a strong advocate for open education, e.g. by publishing all digital tool tutorials for her courses online and open access.

At Utrecht University, Jasmijn coordinates the new Specialization “Doing Media Heritage: Texts, Institutions, Curation”  for the BA Media and Culture. She coordinates courses on Audiovisual Media Archaeology (BA, with Giovanna Fossati), Programming and Curation (MA, with Marijke de Valck),  Qualitative Research Methods (MA) and supervises BA and MA theses in film and television studies. She also teaches the course Media Industries for the CIW program (BA, with Marleen te Walvaart).
