Hi everyone! My name is Claartje Rasterhoff and I’m very excited to start at FASoS as Assistant Professor in Cultural Policy and Management.
Based at the department of Literature and Arts, I’ll be teaching mainly in the MA programmes Arts and Heritage: Policy, Management and Education and Media Studies: Digital Cultures.
In my research and teaching I like to combine approaches from arts and culture studies, urban studies and digital humanities. I’m currently wrapping up a pilot study for the new Dutch Culture Monitor at Boekman Foundation: Institute for arts, culture and related policy, and I’m involved in a research project on the role of arts and design in urban communing practices, together with colleagues at the University of Amsterdam and Sandberg Institute. Other research and teaching interests include the history of (Dutch) cultural industries, communing and collective action, and the application of digital methods in humanities research.
Previously, I worked at the University of Amsterdam as Assistant Professor in Urban History & Digital Methods, at Erasmus University Rotterdam as postdoc and lecturer, and at Utrecht University as a PhD student.
If you would like to connect, feel free to drop me a message at c.rasterhoff@maastrichtuniversity.nl. Looking forward to meeting you in person!
