My teaching focuses on the cultural and political contexts of modern science. I teach several courses in the research master History and Philosophy of Science (HPS), and each year I supervise multiple masters’s theses.
In all my teaching, I aim to:
- Challenge students to think critically, apply their knowledge to new problems (even outside their own field of study), and to never use sophisticated theory without common sense;
- Make students aware of the social, political, cultural and intellectual context in which they live and work, and of their own prejudices and assumptions;
- offer my knowledge, because students come to university to learn from experts;
- provide a stimulating environment in which students can grow, both personally and intellectually;
- approach students as the grown-up persons they are.
As programme coordinator of the HPS master, I am also responsible for the daily management of the programme.
I have an SKO qualification.
