On repeat: Genderstudies is hier slechts de kanarie in de kolenmijn, hoe sneller onze universiteiten dat begrijpen en ernaar handelen, hoe beter academische vrijheid in het algemeen beschermd is.
Zowel in Duitsland als Italië wordt de academische vrijheid onder druk gezet door politieke inmenging. Waar Alice Weidel van AfD aankondigt alle genderstudies te willen sluiten, stuurt de Italiaanse regering-Meloni inspecteurs naar universiteiten met genderstudies na klachten van extreemrechts.

The journal for which I am executive editor is now also on Bluesky!
We’re excited to officially join the Bluesky network!

Our aim is to provide a platform for the spatial social sciences, fostering discussions, conceptual renewal, and original research across various geography disciplines.

Let’s connect, share ideas, and build a stronger community.

I am very happy to share that I have received the #ERCCoG grant for research on the political geography of meat and dairy, PROTEINSCAPES. I will be building a team of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in four EU countries to compare the landscapes of animal-based proteins.

Gisteravond was ik samen met @wvangent.bsky.social in Forum Groningen op het Let’s Gro festival waar we ons boek ‘making the middle class city’ presenteerden en aan de Groningse context relateerden. Het werd een interessant gesprek ook met lokale politici over studentificatie en gentrificatie.

What do Americans 🗽 and the Dutch🌷know about racial & ethnic inequalities? Are they willing to change their beliefs after learning the facts?

Working with @BUsociologydept graduates Nikki Huang and Will Regan, here's what we learned

One of the themes on which I am working is the relation between social, spatial and political inequality and processes of polarization. Here a very simple graph of the Gini index of income inequality in Amsterdam 2001-2019
