Research
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.
