FASoS Story Slam

As part of the FASoS (Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, Maastricht University) 30th anniversary celebrations, we held a story slam. Colleagues shared stories about their past and present at FASoS. These included wonderful stories about being interviewed for a job, first days at work, trying to understand Problem-Based Learning, Maastricht’s preferred pedagogical style. I shared my recollections of cold calling Wiebe Bijker in 1992 in order to ask if my then University of East London could join the ESST master programme then being developed. ESST stands for European Studies on Society, Science and Technology. It’s still going strong, more than 30 years later (though not in London). You can listen to the story here.
