Anja Eleveld is associate professor social law at the VU University. She graduated in Labour Law (cum laude) (University of Amsterdam), Political Science (University of Amsterdam) and Cultural Anthropology (Utrecht University). In 2012 she obtained her PhD at the Law Faculty of Leiden University.
Anja's empirical-legal research focuses on unequal power relations in the context of work and social security. In her Veni project she investigated the extent to which legal rules prevent exercises of arbitrary power in the relation between social assistance recipients and the casemanager/work supervisor. In her newest research project funded by NWO Anja will investigate the use of solicited oral diaries for research on vulnerable employment relations.
In addition to empirical-legal research Anja conducts doctrinal research in the field of (European) labour law, social security law and non-discrimination law.
Her multi-disciplinary research has been published in various leading international and national journals in the field of social-legal studies, labour law and (social) policy. She is the lead editor of a book on legal, sociological and philosophical perspectives on welfare to work for the Policy Press (Eleveld, Kampen and Arts, 2020) and the editor of a book on the Participation Act (from a human rights perspective) for Kluwer (Eleveld 2018).
