Vacature interdisciplinair onderzoek naar islam/moslims in Brusselse gevangenissen

Posted on by

Er is een nieuwe vacature open voor een PhD student die wilt werkren rond islam/moslims in Brusselse gevangenissen.

Na de terreuraanslagen in Frankrijk (2015) en België (2016) kreeg radicalisering in Belgische gevangenissen uitzonderlijk veel aandacht in het publieke en politieke debat.

Academisch onderzoek daarentegen blijft beperkt.

In dit onderzoek willen we nagaan hoe het radicaliseringsdiscours invloed heeft op Islam/moslims in Brusselse gevangenissen.

Voor deze functie zal onze Brussels Humanities, Sciences & Engineering Campus (Elsene) je thuisbasis worden.

Voor een nieuw onderzoek aan de KU Leuven over de werkervaringen van vrouwen met Turkse of Marokkaanse migratieachtergrond is het onderzoeksteam op zoek naar vrouwen met een Marokkaanse of Turkse migratieachtergrond, die hun werkervaringen via anonieme, wekelijkse vragenlijsten willen delen. In dit onderzoek zullen we (anoniem) vragen stellen over hoe ze hun job en het contact met hun collega’s ervaren.

Decolonize the university

Posted on by

On March 22, RHEA, BIRMM, the VEN network and the Race and Research network are organizing an event ‘Decolonising the university’ in which they will discuss insights on what de-colonisation of the university and VUB could look like and which ways we can move forward.

Christil Asamoah, Tunde Adefioye and Iman Lechkar will talk about their ideas on how to foster equality for marginalised groups in the university. They will discuss with staff and students from VUB, but we welcome students from other universities as well.
