She is the author of Integration Requirements for Immigrants in Europe - A Legal-Philosophical Inquiry that was published in 2021 by Hart Publishing (Bloomsbury).
In 2019 she was a visiting scholar at the Max Planck Institute for the Study of Religious and Ethnic Diversity. In that year, she also wrote a booklet on the importance of citizenship and citizenship education for Nationaal Comité 4 en 5 mei. This booklet has been distributed to social studies and civic teachers (docenten maatschappijleer).

De Waal is the founder and chairman of Stichting Civic that aims to provide a fundamentally diferent perspective on Dutch civic integration policies ('inburgering') for refugees and other newcomers in the Netherlands.
