TEACHING

As part of his professorship at the Utrecht University Centre for Global Challenges (UGLOBE), Prof. Schot is currently involved in three Teaching elements, namely: Developing dedicated UGLOBE Summer and Winter Schools, Community Engaged Learning (CEL) as well as PhD Supervision.

community engaged learning

The Centre for Global Challenges wishes to promote interdisciplinary collaboration between Utrecht University researchers, its students, and societal stakeholders from across the globe through Community Engaged Learning (CEL).

What is Community Engaged Learning?

CEL is experiential education in which students, teachers, and external partners work together on societal challenges. CEL integrates societal engagement with academic study and reflection to enrich and enhance the learning experience and contribute to community needs. Community Engaged Learning comes in different forms. UGLOBE prioritizes projects that:

intersect with our core research themes of human rights, conflict & security, sustainability, and equity;
look beyond disciplinary boundaries;
connect with global partners or show how global challenges manifest in local needs;
and focus on the development of transformative competencies.

CURRENT GRADUATE SUPERVISION

While in recent years, Professor Johan Schot has initiated numerous large scale interdisciplinary projects, involving vast numbers of senior researchers from across the world, he considers mentoring PhD students as equally crucial – and enjoyable. Throughout his career, Schot has guided a total of 20 PhD students, many of whom he remains to cooperate with closely.
