Profile
I am assistant professor at the Child Development & Education Sciences department of the UvA. My research focuses on the social development of young people in ethnically diverse societies. In doing so, I document how the school context can offer challenges and opportunities for developing social and civic competencies of students with different backgrounds. This research offers insights that benefit the design of (world) citizenship education that fits the school context.
I teach related courses on diversity and education, democratic citizenship education, and on research skills in the Bachelor and Master Educational Sciences at the University of Amsterdam.
