I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Sociology at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.
In the (recent) past, I worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Sociology at Radboud University and as a researcher at the Netherlands Institute for Social Research (SCP). I obtained my PhD (in 2020) at the Department of Sociology of Utrecht University and the Interuniversity Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology Graduate School (ICS).
My research interests include (intersectional) discrimination, in- and exclusion processes, and social inequality. In my research, I draw on a range of methods and data sources, including (field) experiments, (longitudinal) multi-level analysis, and systematic reviews/meta-analysis.
Previously, my research was mainly focused on racial-ethnic discrimination in the labor market. In 2024, the Netherlands Organization for Scientific Research (NWO) awarded me a Veni grant for my research project, allowing me to spend the next three years studying everyday discrimination in (semi-)public spaces, such as on the street, in shops, hospitality venues, and public transportation. Specifically, I investigate who is affected by everyday discrimination in (semi)public spaces; to what extent, where, and when. And what are the consequences of everyday discrimination for social inclusion? In this project, I study individual and contextual explanations for, and the consequences of (intersectional) everyday discrimination using an innovative research design combining traditional survey, qualitative, diary, and field experimental designs.
