As a postdoctoral researcher, I work on an international NWO-funded project “The Development of Inequality in Children’s Educational achievements”. As an international team, we investigate how childhood inequalities develop over time (ages 3 to 16), what factors may influence inequalities, and how national context may strengthen or buffer these processes. We examine development in early childhood cross-nationally, and conceptualize child development in a comprehensive manner by investigating both cognitive, as well as behavioural and health outcomes. We do so by leveraging rich cohort and administrative data from France, Germany, Japan, Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States, embedding these countries in a harmonized framework. Before starting my research at the Sociology department at Erasmus University, I completed my PhD in Pedagogy at the Department of Psychology, Education and Child Studies (Erasmus University Rotterdam). My dissertation focuses on implementation quality and effects of family literacy programs.
