Biography
'International Development Practices' is what I care about. How can we make international solidarity more effective in addressing global challenges, such as instability, climate change and global health crises? As an Erasmus network chair I focus on creating linkages between the great research efforts of Erasmus scholars, their partners in the Global South and policy makers in the Netherland & Europe.
