WELCOME
I am a social scientist interested in the future of democracy and climate governance. At the moment I work as a Postdoctoral Researcher at the University of Leuven on democratic innovation, legitimacy and the consequences of climate change for democratic attitudes. In my research I combine several disciplines, such as political psychology, democratic theory and environmental psychology and various methods, such as experiments, cross-national surveys and qualitative interviews.
I currently serve as Co-chair of the ECPR Standing Group on Democratic Innovation, the largest network of democratic innovation researchers worldwide. I am the co-organizer of the NEXT GDC conference, an early career conference for deliberation scholars which includes research exchange, networking, panel debates and skill building workshops.
In December 2020 I obtained my PhD from the University of Amsterdam and the University of Leuven (joint degree). I hold a masters degree in communication science from the research master program at the University of Amsterdam and a bachelors degree in communication studies and economics from the University of Mannheim. In 2016 I was awarded a 4-Year fellowship from the FWO – Research Foundation Flanders (Belgium) for a research project on democratic innovations.MY WORK
