In her new capacity, Marlies will contribute to teaching the Master’s track Law and Politics of International Security at the Vrije Universiteit and supervising PhD students. The chair will allow her additional exposure to her long standing research on (transnational) civil society, conflicts and the international community.
Marlies’ novel position, next to her position as co-director of the Programme Group Transnational Configurations, Conflicts and Governance, will also enable strengthening the research co-operation between the multidisciplinary set of groups at VU, working on international security issues on the one hand, and various groups working on these issues within the AISSR.
