Next week, June 12th and 13th, we host the two-day kick off event of my ERC project Proteinscapes. Together with scholars from a range of disciplines we discuss the geographies of the transition away from meat and dairy. It is still possible to register here: aissr.uva.nl/content/even...

Please consider sending in an abstract for our panel at the @rgsibg.bsky.social annual conference on the political geographies of food!

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.

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 www.cambridge.org/core/journal... (1/18)

Gentrificatie: wie maakt de stad? Tijdens Let's Gro festival spreken @willemboterman.bsky.social en @wvangent.bsky.social over hun boek 'Making the middle class city' en gaan in discussie over gentrificatie in Groningen. forum.nl/nl/agenda/ge...

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
