  • Profile

    I am currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Discourse Studies, Argumentation Theory and Rhetoric at the University of Amsterdam, and a senior researcher of the Argumentation and Rhetoric Group (ARGA) at the Amsterdam Centre for Language and Communication (ACLC). I was awarded a doctorate at the same university in 2010 on the strategic use of argumentation with a dissertation supervised by Frans H. van Eemeren, and co-supervised by Francisca Snoeck Henkemans and Peter Houtlosser. My dissertation has been published in 2013 at Amsterdam/Philadelphia: John Benjamins under the title Argumentation in Political Interviews and reviewed in Argumentation, Journal of Argumentation in Context and L’analisa linguistica e letteraria .

    My primary research interests concern the strategic use of argumentation in the legal-political context and policymaking, as well as pragmatics and discourse analysis. Most recently, I pursued studies in European Union law and EU policy-making, and have been publishing on probative obligations in political accountability, argumentative analysis and evaluation of reports of the European Parliament's committees of investigation, and the use and quality of argumentation in European Union directives and European Commission's soft law instruments. My research combines theoretical insights from discourse and argumentation scholarship and EU legal studies with empirical insights from 'real-life' reasoning. I am in the editorial board of Argumentation (Springer) and Journal of Argumentation in Context (Benjamins) and a regular reviewer for international journals (pragmatics, discourse, argumentation theory, rhetoric, communication), publishing houses (Springer, John Benjamins Publ. Co) and funding bodies (Dutch Research Council, European Commission, Netherlands Institute for Advanced Studies; Israel Science Foundation; Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Canada).

    I am involved in the NWO-financed project 'Resistance to Metaphor' (Open Competition) focusing on how metaphors are employed strategically and critized in British parliamentary debates.

    I have broad teaching experience with courses varying from introductory lectures to BA students (in Dutch) to advanced courses for Master (MA) and Research Master (RMA) students and PhD-researchers (in English). In 2019-2020 I teach  Introduction to argumentation across domains (MA and Research MA), Argumentation and communication in politics (MA and Research MA),  Strategic maneuvering (BA). I am currently  also programme coordinator of the Research MA Argumentation, Rhetoric and Communication.
