§ As part of the Research Support Team within the Faculty of Humanities and Digital Science, I develop, implement and evaluate policies in line with wider university, national, and international strategic developments in research quality, scientific integrity and knowledge valorisation. § Responsible for implementing the annual internal quality assurance cycle, as well as coordinating and guiding the sexennial external quality assurance cycle.§ Responsible for advising and supporting the Vice-Dean of Research, the Head of the Research Support Team and the faculty’s research programme leaders.

§ Part of the four-member core team on the research project 'Political Apologies across Cultures', funded by a €1.9 million European Research Council (ERC) Consolidator grant. Including 33 countries, my research examined people's emotional responses to human rights violations committed by their country, and how their perceptions of potential reconciliatory strategies (apologies in particular) map onto existing transitional justice frameworks. The overall objective of this research project was to understand whether apologies offered by states for injustices and human rights violations can be considered a universal reconciliation tool, or whether a tailored approach based on cultural variation is more appropriate. The project aims to provide actionable insights concerning the effectiveness of political apologies as a means to address human rights violations, vis-à-vis or in combination with various other transitional justice measures.§ Designed and conducted four independent studies - an online survey (N=345), a field survey (N=1,358), indepth interviews (N=284) and an experimental field survey (N=533) across eight countries: Burkina Faso, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Japan, Jordan, Netherlands, Poland and the United States. Designed and conducted a large-scale (online) survey study (N≈11,000) across 33 countries in 15 languages. § Based in the Netherlands, I regularly travelled to the core study countries as I was responsible for managing collaborations with local partners and managing 70+ research assistants. Work included drafting collaboration agreements, subcontracts and other related documentation, conducting in-field training sessions, and ensuring regular reviews of work conducted. I also coordinated the contract with the survey provider Dynata and regularly contributed to wider project budget management and review.
