 | Yarin Eski
As assistant professor in public administration, Yarin Eski teaches and delivers research on predominantly (organized) maritime crime, policing, arms dealing and genocide; anything but cheerful topics. Next to his academic work, he, however, also keeps himself busy with far more cheerful priority, that of making the academic work place a bit friendlier, less competitive, and overall, (mentally) healthier. In his previous role as member and eventually chair of the Amsterdam Young Academy, and ever since, he dedicates himself to not just preach but also practise daily (self-)recognition and rewarding, as well as stimulating it among his colleagues. |
