Broadly speaking, my research focuses on what drives members of advantaged groups to behave anti-socially and pro-socially towards disadvantaged groups, using quantitative methods. In that vein, I am currently researching the motivational and emotional rudiments of 'solidarity-based collective action' as part of my PhD project. My other research interests are collective violence, group-based norms and dissent, which I attempt to implement into political issues.
I conduct my PhD studies under the supervision of Prof Dr Ernestine H. Gordijn, Prof Dr Katherine E. Stroebe & Dr Yasin Koç.
