De krant is een meneer. De persoonlijke ervaringen van vrouwelijke journalisten bij Nederlandse nationale dagbladen vanaf 1965
No full textDe Nederlandse dagbladjournalistiek was in de tweede helft van de twintigste eeuw een mannenbolwerk. In dit onderzoek vertellen elf (voormalig) vrouwelijke journalisten over hun persoonlijke ervaringen met de gendernormen in hun beroepsgroep. Hoe gingen zij aan het begin van hun carrière om met seksueel getinte opmerkingen, mannelijke omgangsvormen, het inzetten van seksualiteit en hun moederschap

Augustine Ernestine Gratama. Bouwen aan de HERitage van de Architectuur in Nederland
No full textAugustina Gratama was een van de eerste studentes aan de Technische Hogeschool Delft. Zoals gebruikelijk voor vrouwen in het begin van de twintigste eeuw, verliet zij na haar huwelijk de architectuurfaculteit, zonder diploma. Maar zij bleef geïnteresseerd in architectuur en zette zich een leven lang vakmatig, hoewel meestal onbezoldigd, in voor vernieuwing in de woningbouw. Hoewel zij hierin met name tijdens de wederopbouw een sleutelrol speelde, is haar naam weinig bekend. Dit artikel verweeft twee rode draden: enerzijds Gratama’s leven en werk als ongediplomeerd architecte en haar bijdrage aan de ontwikkelingen in de woningbouw, en anderzijds de schenking van het Gratama archief, en de implicaties van een feministische benadering voor de Rijkscollectie voor architectuur
Cross-cultural learning through virtual exchange on the SDGs: What we have learned during and beyond the pandemic
No full textVirtual exchange (VE) provides students with a significant opportunity to communicate and collaborate with peers from around the world without the necessity of travel. VE has increasingly gained traction since the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2020, we commenced offering VE experiences centered on the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) at a public research university in the United States, and we have successfully conducted this course three times in collaboration with universities in Rwanda, Eswatini, and India. Utilizing a social learning platform known as CourseNetworking (CN), we facilitated asynchronous discussions and prompted small-group interaction and projects. Despite facing various challenges, each iteration of the class yielded positive outcomes. This paper outlines best practices for course design and delivery
Rehearsing National Identities through the Framework of Transcultural Theatre
No full textThis article discusses the practical application of the concepts of repetition and gesture from Günther Heeg’s Transcultural Theater in the creative process of the devised theatre project LAND, staged by the author in 2021. It aims to reflect on the strategies used during the artistic practice through the lenses of both actual experience and retrospective critical-theoretical analysis. Here, the question of national identity is explored in one exercise led during the rehearsal process. In the exercise, each participant delved into their own past to retrieve national myths and stories, which would be shared between the group and transformed into a storytelling scene
Echoes, Resonances, and Continuities: A Collection of Maria Shevtsova’s Writings on the Sociology of Theatre and Performance (1988-2025)
No full textEJTP gathers here a collection of writings (spanning from 1988 to 2025) that bear witness to Prof. Em. Maria Shevtsova’s sustained and critical expansion of her scholarship in the sociology of theatre and performance. Newly added comments to several excerpts presented her, which Shevtsova formulated in 2025, invite us to recognise the echoes, resonances, and continuities that define her intellectual trajectory
The Principle of Religious Neutrality in ECtHR and CJEU Jurisprudence: When Neutral Becomes Biased
No full textEven though the principle of neutrality aims, at theoretical level, to ensure absence of coercion, preference, and arbitrary, unjustified State interference with the right to freedom of religion, often, in practice, this is not the case. This is proven by the above interplay between the theoretical scope and the practical outcomes of the use of the principle by the ECtHR. What should protect the right to freedom of religion, often results in allowing States’ violations of the right, based on certain political, philosophical stances such as secularism. Nevertheless, one should not confuse secularism with religious neutrality and liberalism. In this sense, the next phrase should encompass the often blurred, but crucial difference between secularism and religious neutrality and liberalism: ‘The beginning of wisdom in this contentious area of law is to recognize that neutrality and secularism are not the same thing. In the marketplace of ideas, secular viewpoints and ideologies are in competition with religious viewpoints and ideologies. It is no more neutral to favour the secular over the religious than it is to favour the religious over the secular. It is time for a reorientation of constitutional law: away from the false neutrality of the secular state, toward a genuine equality of the rights’
Substantive Minimalist Realism in Human Rights Law: the Case of Art. 21 UDHR
No full textThis paper draws on the intersection between international law and political philosophy in order to identify potential improvements for the contemporary international human rights law framework, namely on the lacking capacity of international bodies to provide effective enforcement for breaches of international human rights law committed by States. The article first explores the tensions and human rights law implications between two sets of philosophical currents, namely universalism and particularism, on the one hand, and realism and idealism on the other. Subsequently, drawing on this, it introduces a new perspective from which to evaluate the obligation of States: substantive minimalist realism. Following the example of Article 21 UDHR, the author argues that the goal of human rights is to ensure a decent life for every person; however, it is acknowledged in the article that different cultures have distinct principles and customs. Enhanced universality, as promoted today, is rooted in Western supremacy and can become detrimental to the protection of individuals, if weaponised by States or radical political groups to protests against their opponents in international politics. Drawing on the theory of substantive minimalism, the author pleads for upholding universal protection only for a select list of rights, without which even the survival and physical freedom of persons are endangered. My proposal, although not exhaustive, concerns the right to life, prohibition of torture, prohibition of slavery, and the right to remedy for acts violating fundamental rights granted by national law. While these universal freedoms shall be interpreted and enforced strictly, the international community should allow States more leverage in determining whether and how other rights shall be secured. Regarding the enforcement of human rights obligations, the author pleads for political and diplomatic scrutiny as the most effective mechanism
Personality and psychopathology: The moderating effect of mentalized affectivity
No full textOur personality is an important component in understanding ourselves and it influences how we navigate our environments and develop interpersonal relationships. The two-polarities model of personality describes the development of personality through the dialectical interaction between two developmental psychological processes, interpersonal relatedness and self-definition. Both dimensions have unique characteristics contributing to either adaptive or maladaptive personality development, shaping the meaning of psychological experiences. Too much of one configuration at the expense of the other has been related to psychopathology. Mentalized affectivity (MA), a component of mentalization, is similar to the two-polarities model of personality in that it also helps us to understand ourselves and others, but through our emotional experiences. One component of MA, processing emotions, is a powerful transdiagnostic feature that can create susceptibility to psychopathology or act as a protective factor and help promote change. Although research has looked at the relationship between mentalization and personality, less is known about the relationship between personality and mentalized affectivity. Participants (N = 201; 53.2% male) completed measures, related to mentalized affectivity, to personality, and to psychological symptoms. Moderation analysis revealed patterns of lower levels of processing emotions strengthening the relationship between personality and forms of psychopathology. When personality becomes maladaptive and there are impairments in processing, there is more susceptibility to pathology. Our research supports the use of mentalization-based and personality-based treatment to alleviate symptoms of psychopathology by increasing levels of processing emotions and fostering adaptive personality development
