Mondag 1 September: Opening of the academic year
The new academic year will open on Monday afternoon 1 September 2014 with a festive reception in Ottone. Eveline Tonkens, the new UvH professor of Citizenship and Humanisation of Institutions and Organisations, has invited Professor Trudy Dehue to give a lecture. Dehue is professor of history and philosophy of science at the University of Groningen, and will lecture on her new book On Health as Choice and Commodity.
Trudy Dehue (1951) is a full professor of philosophy and history of science. She graduated in psychology (MA, 1983) and philosophy (MA, 1985). From 1995 to 2013 she was program chair of the research group Theory and History of Psychology that is currently led by Douwe Draaisma. Earlier she finished a school for higher vocational education and worked in a child psychiatric institution. In 1990 she gained a PhD (summa cum laude) on a philosophical and historical thesis on the changing concepts of 'research' and 'objectivity' in psychology (published in 1995 with Cambridge University Press).
Her book De Depressie-epidemie. Over de Plicht het Lot in Eigen Hand te Nemen [The epidemic of Depression. On the Duty to Manage One's Own Destiny], first published in 2008, discusses the changing meaning of the concept of 'clinical depression' and the social as well as scientific consequences of these changes. Her latest book Betere Mensen. Over Gezondheid als Keuze en Koopwaar [Better People. On Health as Choice and Commodity] dates from June 2014.
UvH lecturer Ruud Meij and PhD student Thomas Kampen will present a column, and Volksopera Ondiep will provide the musical intermezzos. Prof. Dohmen will conclude the afternoon.
The event starts at 3.30pm (doors open at Ottone from 3.10pm) and will last until approximately 5pm. The event then continues with a reception in the university’s own garden.
The lingua franca is Dutch.
