Research

Annelies Vredeveldt conducts research on eyewitness memory and investigative interviewing. She obtained an ERC Starting Grant for a five-year project on eyewitness memory in cross-cultural contexts. She leads a team of two postdocs and two PhD students to investigate this question in different contexts, from South African police interviews to Rwandan genocide cases to eyewitness experiments with asylum seekers.

Education

Annelies Vredeveldt coordinates the Psychology course in the Law and Society bachelor. She teaches on basic concepts in psychology and applies them to the legal system, with interactive lectures and active tutorials in which the Mixed Classroom teaching method plays a crucial role.

Vredeveldt also coordinates the Masters elective course Project Reasonable Doubt. She coordinates all supervisors and serves as a supervisor herself. She instructs and advises teams of 8-12 students investigating selected criminal cases. Past investigations have contributed to the re-opening of closed cases.
