Gerben Moerman

Gerben Albert (Gerben) Moerman (Schipluiden, 1976) is a Dutch sociologist who teaches at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). His specialty is sociological methodology, and he is member of the UvA group for Dynamics of Citizenship and Culture. He is considered something of an expert on breaching, and has drawn attention for a hobby of his—the Paul is dead conspiracy theory. In 2012, he was chosen as UvA teacher of the year; he was praised for being able to interest his students in the unpopular subject of sociological methodology, and for linking theory to society and continually surprising his students.
