He is the chair of the Centre for Research on Environmental and Social Change (CRESC, formerly OASeS) and the Antwerp Urban Studies Institute. He teaches courses on urban studies, poverty and social inequality. His research is concerned with local social innovation and welfare state restructuring, new forms of solidarity in diversity and urban diversity policies. He is also the academic director of the newly established Hannah Arendt institute. Hannah Arendt advocated active citizenship in which plurality, connection, critical thinking and open dialogue are central.
