Dr. Michael Bender

Bestuurslid sinds 2018

“I am Associate Professor (UHD) at the Department of Social Psychology at Tilburg University (see website for more details). In my work, I study culture, in particular acculturation, international student adjustment, threat, inter-group behavior, and identity. I am passionate about teaching and infusing culture into the psychology curriculum and care about the methodological appropriateness of our studies and tools (topics on which I regularly give workshops and summer schools).

I hope to contribute to fostering our understanding of culture and methods, how we can best include it in our education and curricula, and make our organizations more representative and inclusive.”

Dr. Özgül Uysal-Bozkir

Bestuurslid sinds 2021
(neuro)psycholoog NIP

“Ik werk als universitair docent aan de Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam, afdeling Psychologie.

Als onderzoeker heb ik vooral gewerkt aan meetinstrument ontwikkeling en adaptatie voor ouderen met een ander taal en cultureel achtergrond. Middels mijn PhD onderzoek hebben we de prevalentie van dementie onder migranten onder de aandacht gebracht en aan een Cross-culture dementiescreening gewerkt. Mijn onderzoek richt zich voornamelijk op vraagstellingen rondom (dementie)zorg. Ik ga graag samenwerkingen aan met diverse belanghebbende waarbij we elkaars kennis benutten.

Zowel binnen het vaardigheidsonderwijs als in mijn onderzoek komen mijn expertise en interesses terug: interculturele vaardigheden die we de toekomstige professionals willen meegeven, D&I in het bachelor curriculum.

Ik ben onderdeel geworden van deze Commissie, omdat ik graag op verschillende niveaus wil bijdragen aan ons vakgebied, meedenken met actuele dossiers, werken aan bewustwording rondom culturele sensitiviteit.”
