Briitta van Staalduinen

Welcome!

I received my PhD in Government from Harvard University in 2023 and am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Cluster of Excellence “The Politics of Inequality” at the University of Konstanz.

My research examines the ethnic, racial, and gender-based inequalities formed by the interaction of occupational change and welfare state reform as well as the consequences of these emerging inequalities for progressive politics in Europe. You can read more about my papers and dissertation book project here.

I was previously an Assistant Professor in the Department of Economics at the University of Leiden and I have held visiting positions at VATT Institute in Helsinki and WZB Berlin Social Science Center.

Prior to my PhD, I received a Bachelor’s in Political Science and Economics from the University of Wisconsin - Madison and a Master’s in Sociology from the University of Amsterdam.
