We (or actually the students) occupied the Maagdenhuis (literally the 
Virgin house, it started as a place for girl orphans) for 6 weeks. I was 
more involved in the aftermath, trying to get some improvements into the 
system.

I am teaching a few hours already at a very small and somewhat 
experimental school Vinseschool (no english website yet) That will 
expand to 2 full days there and also 3 days at a more traditional school.

yes, but people are confused that I introduce myself by another,

I needed to blend in slightly more with the people that find themselves 
important.

Our university publication (folia.nl) allows anonymous comments, I find 
that annoying and unprofessional, so yes, that is indeed another reason.
