Welcome

Hello 👋 I study all kinds of culture using computational methods. Trained as a Cultural Sociologist, so fond of theory.

I work as a Core Lecturer in Computational Social Sciences at the University of Amsterdam and a Visiting Lecturer at the American University Kyiv, where I teach Introduction to Sociology and Innovations in Society.

My PhD dissertation “Genres, webs of fields, and institutional change: The development of dance in the US, UK, and the Netherlands, 1985-2005” has recently (27 September, 2023) been completed.

I am currently setting up a new project titled “How style impacts organization: modeling stylistic variations in the film art world” for which I received a Valorization grant from the Social and Behavioural Data Science Centre at the University of Amsterdam.

Previously, I completed my master in Cultural Sociology (Cum Laude, University of Amsterdam) with a thesis titled “The culinary order: sustainable consumer identities and new organizational forms on the alternative market for foods.”
