I am part of the RE-WIRING project (https://re-wiring.eu/) funded by Horizon 2020. Together with Colette van Laar, I particularly focus on de-biasing education. Which de-biasing interventions exist and which tools work best at which educational stages and in which cultural context? Our ultimate goal is to develop evidence-based tools for de-biasing educational choices and to use insights and findings to inform policies, help practitioners, and support students in their decision-making.

Together with Prof. Vera Hoorens and Prof. Susanne Bruckmüller, I am researching communication about social groups. We compare the effects of different wordings of stereotypical and counter-stereotypical messages on observers’ inferences from claims. The project’s results will contribute to the understanding of why some messages entail stereotype change whereas others do not, will yield recommendations for communication training, and will help the general audience analyze media messages.

This association is organized by current research master psychology students at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Members of the executive board provide both research master and PhD students with the opportunity to build research connections and expand their knowledge. My tasks encompassed planning social and educational events, building an alumni network to enable academic exchange in the future, distributing open PhD positions students can apply for and the creation and management of our new homepage.
