De wetenschap achter het vrouwelijk orgasme

Jarenlang werd het vrouwelijk orgasme voor onbelangrijk versleten. Het lichaam van de vrouw zou gemaakt zijn om kinderen te baren en een orgasme leek daarbij geen rol te spelen. Inmiddels is menigeen een andere mening toegedaan.

Which Ways Forward?

EU External Action against Deforestation

Fighting deforestation has quickly risen towards the top of the EU’s external action agenda. Not only is deforestation a major source of environmental degradation and greenhouse gas emissions, but it also contributes in many countries to rampant illegality and violations of indigenous community rights.

Manufacturing reality in times of crisis

I don’t believe in facts

Embellished by social media, COVID-19 has triggered a veritable conspiracy boom, further eroding scientific and journalistic standards of objectivity and truth. Faced with crisis and the unknown, we look for answers beyond traditional media; and there are many charlatans ready to offer their services of providing easily digestible explanations.

Disinformation as Drama

Hollywood Double Agent

To the White House, the Vatican and deep behind the iron curtain: Boris Morros’s footsteps display a ‘Hollywood Double Agent’. What’s the bigger story behind this Cold War spy and how does it relate to today’s world?

Political Commitments and Practices on the Ground

Gender Inequality in Academia

Gender equality, equal treatment, equal opportunity and non-discrimination are all, formally and in abstract, undisputed objectives. One could say that they are politically so self-evident that no one would openly (dare to) dispute them – at least not in this general and abstract form. However, the reality on the ground is in stark contrast with these proclaimed objectives and commitments.

Contemporary perspectives

Writing about Lebanon, what is happening now?

‘If you think you understand Lebanon, it’s because someone has not explained it to you properly.’ Notwithstanding this Lebanese saying, lauded author Pierre Jarawan attempts to help us analyse today’s Lebanon.

Telling stories in a society that’s lost the plot

The State of European Literature

Once upon a time, Western societies had a clear story. It was Christian, patriarchal and imperialist, based on the biblical injunction “subjugate the earth”. Countless people suffered from the consequences of this story, and this suffering was exposed and examined by writers seeking to describe or even end it and to open new perspectives.

Virtual Visions of Europe #5

W(h)ither the EU?

The VVE series concludes with a discussion on the implications of the crisis for the EU in general. Will the EU emerge stronger from the crisis, e.g. with a larger budget, more powers to coordinate public health, and reinforced solidarity within the Eurozone? Or will the EU’s inability to reach agreement and take the lead on critical issues result in a long-term weakening of its internal authority and external influence?

Virtual Visions of Europe #4

Changing geopolitical orders

The fourth edition will shift the focus to the present and future challenges for the EU’s geopolitical role both in its immediate Neighbourhoods and in the wider world. What are the implications of the crisis for the EU’s relationships with other global and regional powers, most directly the US, Russia, China and Iran?

Virtual Visions of Europe #3

The national and European politics of the pandemic

In the third edition of VVE we discuss how the corona pandemic is affecting politics, at the national and the European level. Is it producing cohesion or polarization among parties and public opinion? How are populist parties and leaders positioning themselves, with what results? How do these patterns differ across countries, and how can they be expected to develop going forward?

Virtual Visions of Europe #2

Socio-economic policy and crisis response

What will be the economic and social impact of the pandemic? In the second edition of VVE we discuss new monetary and fiscal measures by the ECB and member states, the debate over solidarity, including the use of the European Stability Mechanism, the European SURE initiative for temporary (un)employment support, and the proposal for corona (euro) bonds.

Virtual Visions of Europe #1

Public health: Diversity and (non-)coordination

In this first edition of VVE experts discuss the procurement and distribution of medical supplies, and their implications for free movement and border controls within the EU. Should the EU play a bigger role/be given stronger powers, and if so of what sort?

Een avond met Lorraine Daston

Tegen de natuur in

Waarom verwijzen we naar de natuur als het gaat om normen voor menselijk gedrag? In haar nieuwe boek Tegen de natuur in onderzoekt wetenschapsfilosofe Lorraine Daston waarom het ‘zijn’ van de natuur bij de mens steeds weer een ‘zou moeten zijn’ wordt.
