- About Me
- Nicky van Dijk is a PhD-candidate at the University of Tasmania. She researches how we can make our political and legal institutions more future-proof. Society is faced with many long-term problems such as climate change, and young people and future generations often do not have a say in the policy-making that shapes their future. How can we change our institutions, to make sure we safeguard a future for all? My research focuses are citizens' assemblies, deliberative mini-publics, international human rights law, and other institutions using children, young people or future generations in their policy-making.
