New Dean at the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences
Robert Harmsen, professor of political science at the University, has been nominated for a five year period as the Dean of the Faculty of Humanities, Education and Social Sciences. He succeeds Prof. Georg Mein, who headed the Faculty for over ten years. Prof. Harmsen , whose research interests lie in human rights, European governance, and public policy, previously led the Department of Social Sciences of the Faculty. He was the Director of the Master in European Governance and currently holds the UNESCO Chair in Human Rights. We asked the new dean three questions. What is your vision for the Faculty?. The Faculty has developed very strong internationally recognised and nationally relevant teaching and research activities across all of its major areas - humanities, education, and social sciences - on which we will continue to build over the coming years.
