I am a developmental scientist by training. Currently, I am an Assistant Professor at the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science and the European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations (ERCOMER) at Utrecht University.

My lines of research span the fields of development and social psychology.

One line of research examines how family, peers, and education shape children’s and youths’ ethnic-racial identity and intergroup attitudes.

My other line of research examines how adults’ social identities and ideological orientations shape responses to diversity-related social change.
