Education

For me teaching is an integral part of academic life. Over the last years, I have developed and taught BA, MA and PhD courses on the long-term historical development of science and technology, history of science in colonial and global context, Science and Technology Studies (STS), and Dutch (colonial) history at the Universities of Twente and Leiden. From September 2020 to August 2024, I was scientific coordinator and developer of the national STS PhD training program (WTMC). From 2017 to 2019, I was course director of the international CuriousU Summer Course Technology & Society at the University of Twente. I have also worked as temporary program coordinator of a Leiden University based training program (ENCOMPASS) for BA- and MA-students from all over Asia in 2009 and 2011.

Moreover, I have supervised >15 BA & MSc/MA theses on a broad range topics (see for detailed list of topics also here).

At the University of Twente, I teach or have co-taught in the following courses on BA and MSc level:
