With a masters in French Language and Literature and in Social Sciences, a PhD in the latter as well, I am a self-employed academic specialized in narrative research. My research company is called OrléoN (from the Dutch "Organisaties leren onderzoeken"; in English both "teaching/learning organizations to research" and "organizations learn to research"). In 2008 I initiated a campus, [campus]OrléoN. At first it was closely related to my own professional network, nowadays it is expanding to many people who have a passion for research amidst society. I am interested in pushing forward the value self employment among academics, especially of the Humanities.
