Han van Dijk, a researcher at the African Studies Centre, was appointed Professor of Law and Governance in Africa in the Department of Social Sciences at Wageningen University in September 2004. He is still attached to the African Studies Centre as an anthropologist specializing in forestry and enviromental issues for four days a week.
