Master of Science Jonas Wolterstorff

Biography

Jonas Frederik Wolterstorff, B.A., was born in Göttingen. During his Bachelor of European Studies at the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg he took part in exchange semesters in Istanbul, Turkey and Nizhny Novgorod, Russia. It was in Russia where he was intrigued by the contradiction between Public Opinion and voting practices that led to the work assembled in this book. He now devotes his academic and personal efforts towards the challenge of sustainability. In his Master of Science of Sustainable Development in Utrecht with exchange semesters in Leipzig, Germany and Stellenbosch, South Africa, he is (still) fascinated by societal phenomena like decision making processes, mass dynamics and opinion shaping. Currently, he is working on his Master Thesis on Persuasive Technologies and Behavioral Change towards sustainable lifestyles.
