Wiebe holds a Master's degree in EU Law (LLM) and in history (MA) from the University of Amsterdam. His research interests lie in combining the two disciplines, mostly when it comes to (the history of) human rights, European and international law. His current research examines the entanglements of (European) law and imperial history as negotiated through day-to day practices, which is connected to the RPA (research priority area) ‘decolonial futures’ currently in development.

At the beginning of 2021, Wiebe made a short video about his research that can be seen here:
