Description
I am a human geographer, who studied at Nijmegen during the years of its cultural revolution (1969-1976); I did my MSc fieldwork in Zambia in 1975. In 1976 I briefly worked at what was then the Third World Centre in Nijmegen (now CIDIN) after which I was appointed as a lecturer at the Department of Geography of the University of Amsterdam. In 1987 I defended my PhD dissertation there, based on research in West Pokot in Kenya ("Pastoralists in Dire Straits"). In 1995 I was appointed as professor in human geography, with a specialisation in global problems of environment and development, and in 1996 I became the (first) director of the Amsterdam Research Institute for Global Issues and Development Studies (now part of AISSR) and between 2002 and 2007 the (second) scientific director of the research school CERES, based in Utrecht (for two days a week, I continued research, supervision and teaching in Amsterdam for the other days). In 2008 and 2009 I returned to Amsterdam. In 2010 I was appointed Director of the African Studies Centre in Leiden, and Professor of African Development at Leiden University. My research work is still focused on Kenya, but it has widened to also include Ghana, and South Africa. I have supervised 34 successful PhD candidates, and I am currently supervising 15 more. I am/was a.o. involved in DPRN, in Tropenbos International, in ETC International, in the Broker, in the Worldconnectors, in the Netherlands Harambee Foundation for Health in West Pokot, Kenya, and in BothEnds, and I was vice chair of NWO-WOTRO, and chair of the NWO steering committee on Vulnerability, Adaptation and Mitigation (VAM). I currently chair the NWO-DGIS CoCooN research programme. I am a member of the Board of the Africa-Europe Group on Interdisciplinary Studies AEGIS and I am also active in the European Association of Development Institutes and in the International Geographical Union. |
