CV
Professional Summary
I am a Ph.D. researcher at the Political Science department of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB). My research is at the crossroads of political science, sociology, and educational science. I am mostly interested in inequalities in political socialization processes and political behavior. I am finishing my Doctoral dissertation, "In search of a democratic equalizer: how citizenship education moderates inequalities in internal political efficacy". I look into inequalities in students' political home environment, gender inequalities in internal political efficacy, and their intersectionality. Several papers in light of this topic are in the pipeline, so stay tuned!
