He now has his PHD. Many years working on his dissertation to get this far! He is an expert in European History, International Studies, and really an expert is all that is going on in the world daily. You have a question?,,,, You have heard of "Ask Jeeves". ... Well I say, "Ask Johan". Watch out though, you may get a 5 page answer to your question. Be ready......
Just so everyone knows, we are all so very proud of him. It has been really a treat to be in Boston for this event with Dorian and Fred. Rachel had been in touch with many east coast friends, who all showed up last night to celebrate with Johan and Rachel. ( Rachel had planned a special surprise 30th Birthday and Graduation celebration for Johan). The farthest friend came from Germany even. Amazing friends.
Special advise every one gives to Johan " Get a Job"........ Easier said than done these days. He has been applying all over the world actually. Research fellowships, teaching positions, etc etc. We are hoping and praying for good opportunities for Johan and Rachel. We shall see what their next opportunity will be. .... So if you have connections out there, be sure to let us know.
An Addition: Johan's dissertation was "Party Systems change in the Netherlands: Intra-Party Cohesion, Discourse, and the Socio-Cultural Cleavage " How is that for a mouthful! Lots of research and over 50 interviews for the base of his work.
Tomorrow the adventure continues...... Off to Martha's Vineyard. Rain or shine. ....
