🌊 Water attracts, but can equally poses a threat.
In a new review paper with @wvangent.bsky.social and @willemboterman.bsky.social we scrutinise the inherent tension of open water bodies in creating value in urban settings.

FOUR GRAPHS ABOUT 🇩🇰'S GENERAL ELECTION
My read of the election in four graphs. First: big urban-rural divide. The two big mainstream parties, Social Democrats and Liberals, are now mainly rural/suburban, with niche parties dominating in cities. (1/4) #polisky

On repeat: Genderstudies is hier slechts de kanarie in de kolenmijn, hoe sneller onze universiteiten dat begrijpen en ernaar handelen, hoe beter academische vrijheid in het algemeen beschermd is.
Zowel in Duitsland als Italië wordt de academische vrijheid onder druk gezet door politieke inmenging. Waar Alice Weidel van AfD aankondigt alle genderstudies te willen sluiten, stuurt de Italiaanse regering-Meloni inspecteurs naar universiteiten met genderstudies na klachten van extreemrechts.

I am very happy to share that I have received the #ERCCoG grant for research on the political geography of meat and dairy, PROTEINSCAPES. I will be building a team of doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in four EU countries to compare the landscapes of animal-based proteins.

Gisteravond was ik samen met @wvangent.bsky.social in Forum Groningen op het Let’s Gro festival waar we ons boek ‘making the middle class city’ presenteerden en aan de Groningse context relateerden. Het werd een interessant gesprek ook met lokale politici over studentificatie en gentrificatie.

What do Americans 🗽 and the Dutch🌷know about racial & ethnic inequalities? Are they willing to change their beliefs after learning the facts?

One of the themes on which I am working is the relation between social, spatial and political inequality and processes of polarization. Here a very simple graph of the Gini index of income inequality in Amsterdam 2001-2019
