Training

I am an experienced and accredited university educator. Over the years, I have taught and coordinated undergraduate and graduate courses in public administration and political science, with a focus on regulation and public governance. Additionally, I have supervised PhD students and MSc students.

Within my current role at Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences, my teaching load is limited. In earlier roles, I was actively involved in the development and delivery of training programs, including a post-graduate certificate in public management at Victoria University of Wellington (New Zealand) with a specialization in regulatory governance, the Australian Consortium for Social and Political Research Inc (ACSPRI) Methods Course “Foundations of Qualitative Comparative Analysis”, and the course ”Introduction to Regulatory Governance” (PUBPOL 220) in the Undergraduate Degree Program at Duke Kunshan University (China).

At the Australian National University, I developed the flagship course “Regulation and Governance” (ASIA8052 and ASIA9052) and taught this course on a yearly basis between 2012 and 2017. The course consistently received strong positive feedback from participating Masters and PhD students. Between 2009 and 2011, while at Delft University of Technology (the Netherlands), I taught and coordinated a series of undergraduate and graduate courses in public administration and political science, with a particular focus on regulation, governance, and policy.

I have further taught at the University of Amsterdam (the Netherlands), the University of Washington (USA), the London School of Economics and the University of East Anglia (both UK), the Sri Venkateswara University (India). the Korean Legalisation Institute (South Korea), Ritsumeikan University (Japan), Western Sydney University and LaTrobe University (both Australia).

In October 2014, the UK-based Higher Education Academy (HEA) recognized my sustained and proven education track record, and I became a Fellow of AdvanceHE.
