Sandra Evers is associate professor and senior researcher at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology. Dr Evers’ research programmes principally address issues of cultural transmission and change. In this regard, she directs two Research Programmes: (1) Development as a Trojan Horse? Foreign Large-scale Land Acquisitions in Ethiopia, Madagascar and Uganda” for which she recently was awarded the funding (including four PhD projects) by NWO-Wotro in recognition of its groundbreaking features and excellence; (2) Culturing Neuroscience: Self-representation, Mediation and Theory of Mind among Children and Adolescents in the Netherlands. This Programme is also considered innovative as it brings disciplines together, neuroscience and the social sciences, whose approaches to research with children hitherto had been conducted in relative isolation.
