I am a sociologist interested in cities and politics.

In August 2020, I defended my Ph.D. dissertation “Engaging Neighbors: Housing Strategies and Political Mobilization in Moscow's Renovation” at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. In 2023, I joined Utrecht University as Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Social Science. I participate in the Sectorplan “Social inequality and diversity” at the UU.

My work has been featured in sociological journals such as Social Problems, Sociology, City and Community, and others. In 2022, I published a co-authored book “Gains and Losses: How Protestors Win and Lose” (Oxford University Press).

I also enjoy interviewing authors about their new books for the New Book Network podcast: check out these conversations in my NBN host profile.
