Jeroen Moes

I am a researcher and lecturer with a broad training in the social sciences (sociology, anthropology, methodology, politics, and European studies). I'm passionate about research methodology and asking questions that matter. Over the years, I have accumulated experience in research design, analysis, advice, lecturing, working across disciplinary and national boundaries, and in the organization of various universities and institutions. I like to bring people together to collaborate on projects (workshops, edited books, journals, research design, data collection). My expertise is in research methodology, inequality, gentrification, European studies, politics, and identity. I have particular research experience in Poland (2007-2008), Estonia (2009-2013), Italy (2009-2014), and the Netherlands (2010-present).

Experience

Lecturer

Maastricht University, University College Maastricht

Course coordinator for at least 8 course offerings per year for around 275 students. All of these courses deal with research methodologies and undergraduate research. I am also involved in several other research-oriented courses such as Documentary Project and Capstone. My teaching includes qualitative and quantitative methods, statistics, ethnography, social network analysis, visual methods, and a variety of other approaches.

    • Collaboration with ITEM on a project on European identity in the Euroregion
    • An Erasmus+ project called CREATES, which looks at educational innovation, where I focus on RBL
    • Collaboration on setting up a new research agenda: Citizenship from Below (with Kai Heidemann) which addresses identity, political networks, and post-industrial heritage in the Euroregion
    • Coordinator of MaRBLe, which is an educational programme for ‘Research-Based Learning’.
    • Supervisor for MaRBLe. Some examples of recent undergraduate research collaborations:
      • Neighbourhoods in Transition

2013

Researcher

European University Institute, Florence

Research project ‘Imagining Europe’.

    • The project strategy for this research involved intensive cooperation with a self-assembled team of 7-12 students in each of the three countries for data collection (Estonia, Italy, the Netherlands). This taught me significant skills in project and team management, organising information exchange, and data collection design.
    • Worked on a Horizon 2020 bid called One Many Europe within a consortium. The bid was evaluated very highly, but ultimately did not get funded. (2014-2015)
    • Initiated an edited book project (with Gemma Scalise) based on a workshop
