Dag van de Sociologie 2017

Last week, we celebrated the most important day for Dutch and Flemish sociologists, namely the Dag van de Sociologie at the VUB. One important moment during this annual meeting was awarding the NSV Master Thesis Prize to the best thesis of the year 2016. As board member of the Dutch Sociological Association NSV, I served as secretary for this prize. Chair of the jury was Geert de Vries. He awarded the prize to Kay Polidano (UvA) who wrote a magnificent thesis titled “Caring through a ‘Plastic Box’: An Inquiry into the Use of Remote Care Technology in Later Life”. The laudatio that Geert in name of all other jury members wrote can be retrieved from the NSV-website. The picture below was taken after the prize ceremony – credits go to Tom de Winter.
