How can universities actively promote and enhance social safety within their institutions? What are the defining characteristics of an unsafe environment? Furthermore, what role can university employees play in addressing and mitigating these challenges? In this Dutch-spoken podcast episode from the series "Hete hangijzers" by SoFoKleS Podcasts, Susanne Täuber, formerly an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business in Groningen and a researcher involved in the Young Academy Groningen's study on harassment in academia, engages in a discussion with Leonie Heres, an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Governance and Organization Science in Utrecht and a distinguished chair in Local Government Integrity at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Driven by their respective research interests in integrity, leadership, and social safety, they delve into topics such as setting examples, promoting constructive dissent, and fostering a culture of social safety within academic institutions.
