Dr. Sara Kinsbergen

Sara is program director of AMID Young Professional, a unique education program aiming to bridge the gap between academia and practice in the field of international development and to capacitate and stimulate young professionals to act as change agents in this field. She strongly beliefs in the power of an online, international classroom. Where students from diverse backgrounds, working in a wide diversity of organisations and functions, learn and work together.

She also works as an assistant professor at the department of Anthropology and Development studies (CAOS) of the Radboud University. As a researcher, she is fascinated by small, scale voluntary development organisations initiated by people in the global north, known as Private Development Initiatives (PDIs). Since 2008, she studies amongst others, the identity, the partnerships, the development interventions  and the coming-of-age of these organisations in various European countries and in the countries where they operate in the global south. For her research, she cooperates with multiple civil society organisations in the Netherlands and in countries in the global south. Since many years, she cooperates and receives co-funding from Wilde Ganzen Foundation.

Sara is a member of the committee for development cooperation, of the Advisory Council of International Affairs.
