Alone Together: Over eenzaamheid en alleen zijn (Lessen voor de XXIste eeuw)
Lecture in Dutch
Despite being ever more connected in our digital world, many of us feel lonely. This raises questions: is loneliness an individual or a social problem? How does loneliness relate to solitude? And what is the link between loneliness and the search for connection with others through modern communication technologies and social media?
Luc Goossens (1957) is professor in Developmental Psychology at the KU Leuven. He investigates loneliness and solitude, especially with younger people. Marlies Maes (1988) is post-doctoral researcher at the KU Leuven (FWO). Her research focuses on loneliness in youths.
