editA self-congratulatory bio (no mention of actual publications, substantive contributions to the field etc). Being a professor at 32 is very common as many Dutch universities employ American academic titles [1] . Possibly this academic did become a "full professor" (equivalent to an English ranked Professor) at an early; this would be quite rare, and, in which case, a Wiki entry seems appropriate.

that's exactly what is meant: the Dutch title 'professor' is only exclusively used for full professors; in the Netherlands, assistent professors and associate professors are called 'universitair (hoofd)docent' i.e. something like 'academic teacher'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.81.188.199 (talk) 12:41, 1 April 2011 (UTC)
Upon closer inspection, it seems that this person is relatively minor, and therefore does not even justify having a Wikipedia page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.213.35.80 (talk) 08:01, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
Adding section on academic work
edit | This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest was declined. |
- My conflict of interest:
As disclosed in my user page, I have been supervised by Deirdre Curtin in my PhD, and I am currently carrying out an exernal collaborator contract to, among other things, help the EUI Law Department improve its online presence.
- Why it should be changed:
Deirdre Curtin is a scholar known for her work on European Union law. However, previous discussions on this talk page correctly point out that the current version of the article does not show why that's the case. There is a mention of her Spinoza Prize without clarifying why the prize was awarded. It would be useful to provide a brief description of the work she is known for, both before and after the award.
- What I think should be changed (include citations):
Adding a new section (perhaps titled Academic Work) with an overview of the positions Curtin is known for.
Here is a suggested formulation. I have done my best to formulate the suggestion below from a neutral point of view, and to avoid syntheses of the quoted text that go beyond what can be found in the quoted source.
Academic Work
Deirdre Curtin’s research deals with the law and governance of the European Union. Her publications have engaged with various aspects of European law, such as the regulation of financial markets[1], the Artificial Intelligence Act,[2] and the governance of data flows among administrative bodies.[3] In studying those various phenomena, she analyses how the expansion of the European Union into new domains affects the concepts that structure European Union law and the institutions that make it function.[4]
Curtin has written extensively on phenomenon of differentiated integration, having coined the “Europe of bits and pieces” to refer to its piecemeal development after the 1992 Maastricht Treaty.[5] After the 2009 Lisbon Treaty consolidated the European Union’s legal personality, she updated her description to a “a Union of variegated differentiation”, in which European Union law retains its unitary character even if some parts of it are more integrated than others.[6] More generally, she has published research examining the transparency,[7] the legitimacy,[8] and the accountability[9] of the European Union institutions as the roles of those institutions change over time.[10]
In particular, Curtin analyses those concepts in the context of European Union’s executive power.[11] Some of her most-cited works deal with the challenges involved in holding European institutions, agencies, and bodies accountable,[12] such as the lack of information about their inner workings.[1] According to Curtin, accountability mechanisms, and the access to public information needed for their functioning, are essential for the democratic legitimacy of those institutions.[13] In addition to her scholarship on those topics, Curtin was also active in the drafting of the law governing access to records at the European Union level (Regulation (EC) 1049/2001).[10]

Not done: The proposed additions are sourced almost exclusively to the subject's own work and are thus not independent. For information to be included in the article it must be sourced to independent WP:RS sources which say those things about the subject, not examples of the subject's own work which relate to those areas.
