Patrick Bijsmans awarded UM Diversity and Inclusivity Research funding

Patrick Bijsmans (FASoS) and Carla Haelermans (SBE) have been awarded UM funding for a Diversity & Inclusivity research project on the international classroom and global citizenship education.

The project builds on earlier research that Patrick Bijsmans has been conducting with Arjan Schakel (University of Bergen) and BA European Studies alumni Asena Baykal and Sven Hegewald. The new project will look at Bachelor's programmes at several Maastricht University faculties.

In this new project, Patrick Bijsmans and Carla Haelermans will look at first-year classrooms in Bachelor's programmes at FASoS, FoL, FSE, SBE and FPN, and will combine quantitative data analysis with qualitative interviews and focus groups. A sounding board will advise on the project and will include Johan Adriaensen of FASoS.
