De rubriek ‘proffenprofiel’ toont professoren zoals je ze nog nooit zag: als mensen. dwars stelt de vragen die bij menig student al jaren door het hoofd spoken; wat zijn/ haar docent zoal op zijn brood smeert bijvoorbeeld. Professor Heidi Vandebosch, docent aan de Faculteit Sociale Wetenschappen, wordt deze maand bestookt met vragen.

dwars continues to sharpen its already razor-sharp tongue to mercilessly lick the spine of books, movies, series, games, music, theatre, hair products and rubber ducks. On the menu this week is the deliciously funny Alan Davies, the man that single-handedly owns the lowest score on the hilarious BBC quiz show QI and is considered to be Stephen Fry’s personal pet. His new show ‘Little Victories’ is perhaps a small victory for him, but an immense addition to the world of British humour.

Over de recente aanslag op het satirische blad Charlie Hebdo, een afschuwelijke daad van geweld die op geen enkele wijze goedgekeurd kan worden, zijn de voorbije dagen reeds talloze opiniebijdrages verschenen. Ook bij mij rijzen enkele bedenkingen op, meer bepaald over de verwerking van de aanslag in praat- en duidingsprogramma's binnen de media en het taalgebruik binnen die opiniestukken.

Did you know there is no such thing as a free market? That good economic policy does not require good economists? dwars did not, but we were lucky enough to meet the author of the myth-busting book 23 Things They Don’t Tell You About Capitalism over fish and chicory, during his visit to the University of Antwerp for a UCSIA-teaching chair in December. The South-Korean Cambridge professor Ha-Joon Chang is going out of his way to challenge economic passiveness and to, you know, change the world, he is one of the most successful and critical economists at that. He was in Antwerp for a masterclass and a public lecture and before he took the train to Brussels, he was able to delight us with some food for thought.

De Wereldgezondheidsorganisatie wil tegen 2015 de mazelen voorgoed geëlimineerd hebben. Niel Hens en Pierre Van Damme (Universiteit Antwerpen) dragen hun steentje bij om een mazelenepidemie in België te voorkomen. Met behulp van de Vlaamse supercomputer combineerden ze gegevens over serologie en vaccins met sociale contactpatronen. Twintigers komen als zwakste schakel uit de bus.

Elk jaar doen rond deze periode de wildste geruchten de ronde over examens en dan vooral over de professoren die ze afnemen. dwars ging op zoek naar de leukste, gekste en vooral grofste verhalen uit onze verschillende faculteiten. Voor we erin vliegen een belangrijke tip voor studenten op de Stadscampus: in de grote aula in de kelder van de Rodestraat komt van de trappen stuiken op je examen echt niet goed over.
