He has a degree in Education (Philosophy and History of Education) from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands (Bachelor and Master cum laude, 1979) and a degree in 2

3 Philosophy (Philosophy of the Social Sciences) from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands (Bachelor and Master with much distinction, 1983). He received his PhD in Social Sciences from Leiden University in In 1990 he was Visiting Professor in the Department of Philosophy and History of Education, at the Ontario Institute for the Study of Education (OISE), Toronto, Canada. From February 2007 till February 2012 he was Visiting Professor in Philosophy of Religious Education in the Faculty of Sociology, Saint Petersburg State University, Russia in the two years international MA program Global Sociology: Comparative Perspectives. He is the editor/author of several books and has published numerous academic articles and chapters, next to a lot of professional articles and newspaper articles both nationally and internationally in Dutch, English, German, French, Turkish, Japanese and Swedish. He gave hundreds of lectures, presentations and addresses mostly on invitation. He gave or was extensively mentioned in interviews or articles in newspapers and professional journals, and performed on radio and television. In his publications he has dealt with/is dealing with pragmatism (Dewey, James, Mead and Peirce); the cultural historical approach (Vygotsky); critical pedagogy (both Continental Klafki, Mollenhauer, Lempert - Australian and North American versions) and critical theory (Habermas); hermeneutical (geisteswissenschafliche) pedagogy (Weniger, Litt, Langeveld, Bollnow); history of education (e.g. Jewish education); early childhood education from an attachment theoretical perspective (Bowlby-Ainsworth); developmental psychology (Erikson, Marcia); philosophy of the social sciences; methodology of research in the social sciences and in education (e.g. qualitative and quantitative research methods, validity and reliability); neopragmatistic, postmodern, and poststructuralist philosophy (Rorty, Lyotard, Derrida); and religious and world view education and development. His main research topics at the moment are: religious identity formation from an interfaith perspective; paradigmatic approaches in theory and research on moral and religious education from a critical-pragmatic perspective; the interrelated positioning of religious education in the public, the social and the private domain; and the concept of religious citizenship education within liberal-democratic societies. Since 1993 he has concentrated his research and writing on the relationship of education/pedagogy and religion within the school setting (elementary, secondary and higher education). First especially as religious education within the Christian tradition, but gradually he has broadened his focus and started to use the more embracing term word view education or philosophy of life (Dutch: levensbeschouwing ; German Weltanschauung ). Taking into account the de-pillarization of Dutch society which began in the sixties of the 20 th century, he has questioned both from a pedagogical point of view (meeting difference via dialogue and encounter) and a societal point of view (external social cohesion) the existence of closed, homogeneous, mono-religious schools and has plead for a national system of multireligious or inter-religious schools in the Netherlands. Such instead of the existent dual educational system of a-religious or non-religious state schools and religious denominational schools, all equally paid by the state. He has emphasized the importance of religious citizenship education, that is religious or worldview education for all pupils in all schools, thus following John Dewey again in combining a pedagogical and a sociological perspective. Pedagogically speaking, the aim of 3

4 such education should be teaching and learning about and teaching and learning from religion/world view, that is fostering the active formation and self-formation of the religious identity (personhood) of the pupils. This aim presupposes a particular societal and politicalphilosophical view on religion in respect to the state (the relationship of state-and-church and of state-and-religion is at stake here). His claim (also strengthened by recent publications of Charles Taylor, Hans Joas and Jürgen Habermas) is that religion has its legitimate place and positioning in the private, the social as well as in the public domain. This aim got full attention and in a contextualized way (that is on a European scale) within the framework of the research project Religion in Education. A Contribution to dialogue or a factor of Conflict in transforming societies of European countries ( ) funded by the European Commission.
