Introducing: Toon Van Overbeke
Hi everyone, My name is Toon Van Overbeke and I am thrilled to join FASoS as Assistant Professor in Europe, Climate and Digital Society.
I am a political economist with a particular focus on understanding how societies negotiate structural changes, like the climate transition or automation, which promise to help most in society in the long run but cause severe harm to some in the immediate present. This work relies on mixed methods.

I previously studied Liberal Arts and Sciences at Utrecht University and just completed my Master’s from SBE here in Maastricht.
I’m glad to be a member of the faculty and can’t wait to start.
