I am an Assistant Professor of Sociology at Utrecht University and an affiliated researcher at the University of Oxford and KU Leuven. I completed my Ph.D. in economics in 2019 at KU Leuven after which I was a postdoctoral researcher in sociology and social demography at the University of Oxford. In my spare time, I am an Associate Editor of Humanities & Social Sciences Communications, and on the Editorial Board of Sociology.
My research is situated at the intersection of sociology of education and the sociology of the family. I am particularly interested in the role of school and family environment in the development of children’s outcomes. I have received several awards from the American Sociological Association and the European Academy of Sociology for my research about children with same-sex parents. My other research, featured in leading journals such as the American Sociological Review and Perspectives on Psychological Science, includes household division of labor and school closures. Additionally, I have contributed to discussions on workplace inclusion in outlets such as Contexts and Nature.
I am currently working on the following papers:
- Early Labor Market Outcomes of Young Adults from Same-Sex Families: Evidence from Population Data.
Silvia Palmaccio, Deni Mazrekaj, and Kristof De Witte
Major Revision. Social Forces.
- Is Price Personalization Ethical? The Disutility of Unfairness Perception and Surveillance Aversion.
Deni Mazrekaj, Mark D. Verhagen, Ajay Kumar, and Daniel Muzio
Minor Revision. Journal of Business Ethics.
- Profiles among women without a paid job and social benefits: An intersectional perspective using Dutch population register data.
