Next to course development, coordination and teaching, I implement and evaluate educational innovations on learning communities, intercultural competence, inclusion, and teachers’ professional development.
My research focuses on both, intergroup processes (prejudice, discrimination, inclusion and diversity, solidarity and collective action), and educational processes, specifically intercultural competence, academic development, student well-being and inclusion, and gender ratio in groups/teams.
