New ASH coordinator Simon Speksnijder
As of 17 September 2018 Simon Speksnijder will be taking over as coordinator of the Amsterdam School of Historical Studies.
Simon will also be working as a grant advisor at IXA and supporting the Research Board of the FGw. At the moment he is working at the VU as Erasmus+ coordinator and completing his PhD project at the RUG entitled ‘Greeting and eating in Roman society, 80 B.C. – 180 A.D.’. Simon previously worked as a lecturer both at the RUG and the UvA, and as the coordinator of the FGw grant team from 2015 until 2017, so many of you will already know him.
Brigit van der Pas will start a new challenge as coordinator of the Amsterdam Center for Language and Communication (ACLC) and the Netherlands Graduate School of Linguistics (LOT). She will continue her role as coordinator of knowledge valorization and as a member of the FGw grant team. It has been a privilege for Brigit to have been involved in ASH since its launch in 2014 and especially to have been able to work with such a committed and inspiring group of academics. She looks forward to seeing ASH continue to flourish with Simon as its coordinator.
