Curious master student with a passion for cultures, media studies, and research. Driven to continuously learn new things and skills.

For the past couple of months, I’ve been working as a student assistant on the research project Mobilizing Non-Western Narratives of Friendship, Conflict, and Cooperation, led by Yuri van Hoef. This project focuses on the decolonization of university education by introducing critical and non-western narratives to the curriculum of International Relations theories. Through focus groups, I was able to talk with students about their perspectives on how to redesign university curricula through a critical lens. I had the pleasure of writing about the project’s first results for the Erasmus Student Journal of History Studies, the History Collective. In the article, I discuss why it is important to decolonize the curriculum and how it can be done successfully. Sound interesting?
