Posthumus fellow Selin Dilli one of speakers at Betweterfestival 2023

Posthumus Fellow and member of our Education Committee Selin Dilli is one of the invited speakers at the annual Betweterfestival. The Betweterfestival is an annual event, organised by Utrecht University in close cooperation with numerous partner organisations and is open to anyone who wants to know how the world works, who is nog easily scared by new experiences and who likes to be surprised. Researchers, artists and visitrors mingle in a relaxed festival setting, while thinking about tomorrow’s world and the big questions of today.

Sociologist and historian Dr Selin Dilli’s talk is entitled: ‘Let’s talk about female entrepeneurship’. Selin studies the evolution of female entrepreneurship from 1900 to present. One out of three businesses in the Netherlands are female-owned. What challenges and obstacles do women entrepreneurs still face? What can we learn from the past 100 years to further close the gender gap?

Tickets are available via the Betweterfestival website.
