Jonge onderzoekers, d.w.z. promovendi, postdocs en tijdelijke docenten, zijn essentieel voor het onderwijs en onderzoek aan de universiteiten. Ze hebben het moeilijker dan ooit--en dat is geen onvermijdelijk natuurverschijnsel, daar zitten bestuurlijke en politieke keuzes achter.
Promovendi, tijdelijke docenten en postdoctoraal onderzoekers (postdocs) zijn essentieel voor de toekomst van de Nederlandse wetenschap. Nu dreigen ze massaal de wetenschap verlaten - en dat is voor iedereen een probleem.

I personally don’t think disciplines need to be “relevant” to be important. That said, a day doesn’t pass—esp these days!—when there isn’t something in the news that Religious Studies training/coursework could help one understand

Deeply saddened by the passing of Hans-Josef Klauck. My first class with him was in 2008, and I remember being immediately impressed by his enormous knowledge of the ancient world, command of Greek, and scholarly productivity, all of which he combined with remarkable humility and generosity.
My Doktorvater Hans-Josef Klauck died this past Thursday. He was an outstanding scholar and mentor, a truly generous man. Here’s the obituary from his Franciscan community in Munich. franziskaner.net/pater-dr-han...
