Arnhem, Gelderland, Netherlands
As a historian of science my main interest is in history of mathematics and history of science education. The focus of my current research is on late Nineteenth and Twentieth Century developments in mathematics and physics education at the secondary school level in the Netherlands, most notably involving the rise of new technology in educational practice (which involves history of AI, new media and computing most notably). I enjoy projects which take original source material into account and emphasise the broad cultural implications of science (education). Most noteworthy, I like using cartoons, novels, film footage, diary or college notes as (additional) source material, to illustrate the impact of certain developments in society. Currently, I'm writing a textbook on the "where and why" of mathematics during the past 2500 years. In a former life I also worked as a consultant in special educational needs, in which role I advised both individuals and institutions.
