2019 was – and this is carefully phrased – an exciting year for the Erasmus School of History, Culture and Communication (ESHCC). First, a coming merger kept everyone busy, then the internal differences after dean Van den Boom got accused of plagiarism. Next to that, there would be a culture of fear within ESHCC, and then the merger plans, maybe with the Erasmus School of Philosophy, back on the table. At the beginning of 2020, the merger was swiped off the table again.<\/p>\n

Employees have a lot of question about the research interim-dean Dymph van den Boom is doing about the future of ESHCC.<\/p>\n\n\t
