Current research project
Within my research project, I seek to address the following questions: What role does socio-economic inequality play in patterns of issue and participation polarization in Amsterdam? How do social networks mediate the effects and patterns of socio-economic inequality? Additionally, how do local structural factors reinforce or moderate the processes of polarization?
Current cooperation
- Muncipality of Amsterdam
