Since 2022 we have included a course called Ethical Aspects in NLP in our Bachelor in Information Science. As a final project, my students go to high schools to talk about the perks and perils of language technology.

Programmes I teach in
I teach several courses at the University of Groningen.
- Bachelor of Science in Information Science
- Master of Science in Information Science
- Research Master in Linguistics
- Master of Arts in Digital Humanities
- University Minor Data Wise
Aside supervising master theses, I also regularly supervise groups of master students on small projects, and we often participate in international shared tasks. In some cases we did really well (like in the Author Profiling task at PAN 2016 and PAN 2017)
