Hi, welcome to my website

This website’s main purpose is to give you an idea of what I do during my time at the university. My research is located on the intersection of urban studies and political sociology. I wrote on a number of topics including housing policy, public debates, state theory, drug policy, social movements and urban governance. In many of these research projects, I tried to combine critical theory with positivistic methodologies. My CV gives an impression of what I did and what I like. You can find downloadable pieces under publications.

At the moment, I work at the Erasmus University Rotterdam as an assistant professor of sociology and as the Gradus Hendriks Professor in Community Development. Before starting my positions at the Erasmus University, I was a PhD-student in the Amsterdam Institute for Social Science Research (AISSR) and an MA-student in the Department of Human Geography at the University of Amsterdam.

I am on the editorial boards of TSS, TSS, Tijdschrift voor sociale vraagstukken (Journal of Social Issues), Territory, Politics, Governance and Sociologie. I am an editorial advisor of the journal Agora and the Van Gennep book series Kennis, openbare mening, politiek.
