Research Group Social Interaction in Public Spaces
The research group focuses on everyday social interaction in public spaces. The central question of the SIPR research group is: "How can we offer organizations an interactional perspective on societal transitions, particularly in the domains of 'safety, healthcare, and climate policy,' where technologization acts both as a driver and a challenge?"
Lines of research within the research group
This line of research focuses on the reciprocal collaboration between residents and the government, identifying both factors promote and hinder this collaboration.
Projects within this line of research emphasize the intermediary role of (operational) professionals and their organizations. The research group contributes to the professionalization of these occupational groups within the social domain.

Education
We associate the work of our research group to education by applying an interactive approach, an active open-door policy and by utilising the sub-functions of a variety of lecturer-researchers. The insights and knowledge obtained from our research is also directly applied during lectures.
“The era of explaining things in a better or convincing manner seems to be over. It’s fascinating to see how citizens increasingly take matters into their own hands. How does the government understand and exploit peoples’ concerns, ideas, time and language? This is usually what the discussion is about. All around we are witnessing an ongoing struggle for truly open and authentic interaction about complex and intractable themes.”
