Eloe Kingma

Eloe Kingma

Eloe Kingma wrote a dissertation on medieval interpretations of the Song of Songs, which she defended in 1993. In 1994, she turned her back on history, and became the Managing Director of the Amsterdam School for Cultural Analysis (ASCA) at the University of Amsterdam. Thanks to the ever changing, but always highly motivated, strange and talented group of people that work within ASCA, she still takes great pleasure in her work. A few years ago, she took up coaching and training of 8-year old field hockey players. This activity sharpens her managerial skills, vital to coordinating a school of some 200 unruly researchers.
