My research interests include violence, morality, human rights, Latin America, visual anthropology and phenomonolgy. I have done long-term fieldwork in Venezuela and Argentina. My new research focuses on the Venezuelan humanitarian crisis, natural resources and refugees in the neigboring countries for which I was awarded the Independent Social Research Foundation Political Economy Research Fellowship
My monograph Phenomenal Justice. Violence and Morality in Argentina received the international award Outstanding Academic Title 2020 and is shortlisted for the Juan E. Mendez Book Award for Human Rights in Latin America (result January 2021)
The professional is personal. That's what represents me best as an academic. The combination of fieldwork, writing, and filming are my personal blend of doing anthropology. My regional interests and experiences are definitely Latin America, with a focus on large cities. In total I lived for more than 10 years in Venezuela and Argentina. I am co-founder of the cultural platform DoKumento and editor of the Dutch anthropological journal Etnofoor.
My teaching experiences range from ethnographic methods, violence and trauma, multimedia,film and creative writing, and introductory courses in Cultural Anthropology and Latin America and the Caribbean.
In 2006, I received a Bachelor degree in Language and Culture Studies, with a specialization in Latin American Culture at Utrecht University. My Master degree (2007) in Latin American and Caribbean Studies is also from Utrecht University . In 2016, I received my Doctoral degree in Cultural Anthropoly at Utrecht University for ethnographic research on trials for crimes against humanity in Argentina.
