Brief introduction:
Hi, I'm Max and a PhD student in the Netherlands. I research how our social and cultural environment influences our implicit and explicit biases. What happens when there are large-scale protests? Or cultural celebrations? I'm also a big Open Science advocate. Nice to meet you :)
I co-edited a Special Issue on Intersectional Feminisms based on scholarly conversations/connections from the European Conference on Gender & Politics - the essays are all ungated. Check it out!
