Marijke discusses various forms of transgressive behaviour, the factors that promote this behaviour, the consequences and possible solutions. In the second part of the meeting is interactive. We will discuss social (in)security in higher education: how is social safety guaranteed, do the systems work, what is going well and what could be improved, which inspiring examples deserve to be followed?
