Time at ISS

It was a very important period of my life. I actually stayed at the ISS for 6 years as I then got an ISS fellowship to complete my doctorate at the University of Amsterdam. This was before the ISS developed its own Ph.D programme.

Favourite lecturer(s)

Maria Mies, Jan Pronk, Peter Waterman.

Contact with former classmates

Yes, I am still in touch with several staff members and students.

Lasting impression of ISS

A great place for international connections and the home of one of the oldest programmes on Women, Gender and Development and I am proud to have been associated with its inception.
