ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Elisabeth Borleffs (1983) was born in Bilthoven, the Netherlands. After graduating from the Christelijk Gymnasium in Utrecht in 2001, she studied French at the University of Grenoble (France). In 2002 she began her Psychology studies at the University of Groningen. After obtaining her bachelor’s degree, she studied Spanish in Cuzco (Peru), worked in a community centre for less privileged children, and travelled around South America for several months. During her master’s studies in Clinical and Developmental Psychology, she did an internship at the Child and Youth Department of the mental health centre GGZ Emmen. In 2007, she started working as a research assistant at the Developmental Psychology department of the University of Amsterdam, combining this with another bachelor’s study in Linguistics at the VU University Amsterdam, where she graduated cum laude in 2010. Between 2010 and 2012, Elisabeth worked as a psychologist at IWAL Institute for Dyslexia in Amsterdam and Haarlem. In 2012, she moved to Geneva (Switzerland) where she worked for the NGO ‘Health on the Net’. In 2013, Elisabeth and her husband Berend Langelaar moved to Medan (Indonesia), where she started her PhD research in 2014 under the supervision of professors Ben Maassen and Frans Zwarts. Elisabeth has lived in Zurich (Switzerland) since early 2016, where she, besides finishing this dissertation, started working for Foundations for Learning, joining a team that provides support to children with learning and behavioural problems at international schools in the Zurich area.
