In deze (vier minuten durende) lezing in het kader van het weekend van de wetenschap leg ik uit hoe modern onbehagen leidt tot gevoelens van nostalgie: een mateloos verlangen naar simpelheid, harmonie en geluk.
Producenten van nieuwe technologieen zien vaak een grootse toekomst voor hun producten. Maar bij de introductie van deze innovatieve producten blijkt dat het grote publiek er niet voor te porren is. In deze lezing, gehouden tijdens het afvalcongres voor producenten binnen de afval en recyclingindustrie, ga ik in op twee vragen: Wat zijn de sociologische achtergronden van maatschappelijke weerstand tegen innovatieve technologieen? En, hoe is deze maatschappelijke weerstand te overwinnen? Lezing 23 maart, Eindhoven.
For decades on end, members of the lower socio-economic strata have been voting for leftist parties in many Western countries. These conventional class-party ties have come to an end, puzzling many political commentators. Instead of voting for a leftist party, the working classes’ preferences have shifted towards populist parties like PVV, VlaamsBelang, FPO, and UKIP.
In this lecture, Peter Achterberg will discuss why this is so. More specifically, he will discuss three questions: 1) What explains the rise of radical right-wing political parties? 2) What explains the voting preferences of the working classes? And 3) Why have these changed in time?Lecture for Tilburg University Alumni: March 16th
Elke samenleving is aan verandering onderhevig. Zo ook de Nederlandse. In relatief korte tijd vond in Nederland een proces van individualisering plaats. Dit wil zeggen: Het geloof dat men een individu is, helemaal vrij is, en dus kan doen en laten men wil, en het hoogste doel zelfontplooiing is, is flink toegenomen in Nederland. En deze individualisering heeft grote gevolgen voor allerlei aspecten van de Nederlandse samenleving. Of het nu gaat over de manier waarop we scholing, opvoeding of management en organisaties inrichten, over de gevolgen voor het religieuze en politieke landschap van Nederland, of over de manier waarop men tegenwoordig nog aankijkt tegen de wetenschap, het proces van individualisering heeft gevolgen.
Sociologie is een wetenschappelijke discipline waarin de maatschappij centraal staat. Sociologen willen begrijpen waarom zij verandert. Tijdens deze presentatie legt Peter Achterberg aan de hand van het individualiseringsproces uit wat Sociologie precies inhoudt, en wat je ermee kunt

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
