I am a political and environmental anthropologist whose research interests lie at the intersection of resource extraction, ecology, infrastructure, and governance. I obtained a BA (2011) and MA (2014, cum laude) in Cultural Anthropology from Utrecht University. In 2021, I completed my PhD (cum laude) in Social and Cultural Anthropology at VU Amsterdam, with a dissertation that focused on the sociopolitical life of small-scale gold mining in Chocó, Colombia.
After my PhD, I worked for two years as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of New Brunwsick, doing research on everday material practices in Colombian mining regions (NWO-Rubicon grant).
My work has appeared in Anthropological Quarterly, Geoforum, Globalizations, International Development Policy, the Journal of Latin American Studies, the Journal of Rural Studies, and The Extractive Industries and Society.
My upcoming book Underground Politics will be published by the University of Pennsylvania Press.
I have taught the following courses:
I have worked as thesis supervisor for numerous MA (VU) and BA students (Utrecht University).
I am open to supervising PhD students.
