Short CV
I started my career as a primary school teacher, while studying education and psychology at Groningen University. I hold master degrees in education and in psychology. Still In Groningen I completed my PhD with a study on cooperative learning during math lessons in primary school. I migrated to the Caribbean to study multilingual education and returned after three years to work as a research assessor and international officer at the National Institute for Educational Research in the Hague. In 1991 I started working as lecturer and researcher of cultural diversity in education at Leiden University, where I eventually was appointed professor in the Institute of Education and Child Studies.
Research
My research group focuses on bullying, problems in foster care (break down) and problems akin to cultural diversity (acculturation conflicts, radicalization). What person characteristics and circumstances facilitate and perpetuate conflicts or problems and what preventive measures can be taken? With respect to prevention and intervention we study contact and cooperation measures.
Inaugural Lecture
2004 – Learning in a multicultural society , Universiteit Leiden.
Award
23 March 1995: Nils-Eric Svensson stipend for talented young scientists, awarded by the Bank of Sweden Tercentenary Foundation, which I used to work one semester in the Institute of International Education at Stockholm University.
