dr. L (Ludger) van Dijk

Ludger van Dijk is an empirical philosopher interested in how material practices make minds. He received a PhD degree in the Philosophy of Psychology from the University of Antwerp and a PhD degree in Human Movement Sciences from the University of Groningen. As a postdoc in Amsterdam Ludger combined ethnography with philosophy; observing architects in action he theorized the situated nature of cognitive skills, such as imagination. Combining philosophical analysis with observational methods, Ludger’s research continues to develop at the intersection of pragmatism, ecological psychology and practice theory. He was awarded a FWO personal grant in 2017 and publishes regularly in both multi-disciplinary as well as specialized journals, including Synthese, Perspectives on Psychological Science, Phenomenology and the Cognitive Sciences, and the Psychological Review. In Wageningen Ludger is lecturing on the philosophy of science and ethics.
