Profile

Cornelieke Keizer

New coordinator of equalinrights

Cornelieke is the incoming Coordinator of equalinrights. Having studied cultural and religious psychology she finished her MA degree with research on the psychological consequences of female circumcision among the Somali population in the Netherlands. Fascinated by the underlying structures that influence health and well-being she was appointed as Academic Lecturer at the Health Care and Culture section, VU University Medical Center (Amsterdam) and as Research Coordinator for the Asian regional network Coordination of Action Research on AIDS and Mobility (CARAM-Asia). Aware of a missing link in working on health and migration issues without adequately addressing power structures, vulnerability and discrimination, she was excited about the immense potential of a human rights based approach to development. In 2005, she lived and worked for a period of four months in Malaysia to develop and implement an annual action research programme from a human rights based perspective. She has extensive experience in participatory action research methodology and a strong personal drive for bottom-up learning processes within human rights and development.  Read more about Cornelieke here
