Short bio
Dr. Emiel Maliepaard is originally trained as a social and cultural geographer (honours bachelor degree in 2010 at Utrecht University, research master degree in 2012 at Utrecht University, and a doctoral degree in 2018 at Radboud University) but mostly identifies as a social scientist who finds inspiration in sociology, geography, psychology, and anthropology. He is currently working as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Military Sciences, Netherlands Defence Academy.
He coordinates the Methods and Techniques curriculum and teaches courses such as
- Methods and Techniques 1 (bachelor 1) (2024, 2025)
- Methods and Techniques 2 (bachelor 2) (2025)
- Methods and Techniques 4/Integration project (bachelor 3) (2023-2025)
- Armed Forces, Politics, and Society (bachelor 1) (2024, 2025)
- Human Resource Management 2 (bachelor 3) (2024)
Due to his research interests, he mainly conducted qualitative research, however, his basic “training” was in quantitative research. Emiel prefers conducting (applied) empirical research over other types of research. Trustworthiness is one of his core values as a researcher which is reflected in his critical thinking about research methods, analytical tools, and research ethics.
Current research interests:
- interorganisational cooperation and integration
- multinational cooperation and organisations
- international deployments and operations
