T (Tamara) de Groot, MPhil

Biography

Tamara de Groot is a lecturer at EUC and PhD candidate at Erasmus School of Philosophy, as well as a member of the Rotterdam Arts and Sciences Lab (RASL). Her practice-based research explores how to create more just higher education in a time of social and environmental upheaval, by focusing on speculative approaches, staff-student partnership, and more-than-human co-creation proccesses. By collaborating with artists and musicians from a variety of disciplines, she has enriched her teaching practice by including movement activities, deep listening practices and techniques from visual arts and speculative practices. In order to create education that is more environmentally just, she collaborated with students and the more-than-human beings of the Dutch coastline to envision a ‘School for the North Sea’.
