My Research:

My research and expertise concern political equality, diversity and representation In my new  5-year project funded by the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research I study how minority politicians and citizens themselves believe personal identities should be represented in politics. Do their expectations and assessments of representation diverge or overlap? As PI I lead a team of PhD-reserachers to study these questions in Germany, France and the Netherlands.
