Welcome!
My name is Roland Pierik, I am an Associate Professor of Legal Theory at the University of Amsterdam. My research interests lie in the fields of legal and political philosophy and public policy, especially contemporary liberal theories of justice and their application in plural and multicultural societies, and issues of global justice.
Before I came to Amsterdam, I taught Political Philosophy at Radboud University Nijmegen and Legal Philosophy at Tilburg University.
