  • Profile

    I am a PhD candidate at ASCoR affiliated with the doctoral network ‘Interdisciplinary Perspectives on the Politics of Adolescence and Democracy’ and the Hot Politics Lab. 
     
    Before joining the University of Amsterdam, I completed my Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Psychology at the University of Heidelberg (Germany) and spent a year as an exchange graduate student at Cornell University (USA). 

    Research expertise

    My research focuses on the intersection of social/cognitive psychology and politics. Specifically, I am interested in:  
    •    How people, particularly adolescents, respond to pressing global challenges like the climate crisis and rising societal inequality 
    •    How these challenges shape political identities and political polarization  
    •    How we can enhance political engagement, bridge affective and fact-based divides within our society, and promote societal cooperation towards common societal goals.
