I am a lecturer and research assistant at the University of Amsterdam, Graduate Department of Communication Science. My work is focused on the intersection between social science and programming (computational social science), with a particular emphasis on text-as-data and machine learning for studying the influence of news in modern media. Lately, I have developed an interest in app development and conversational agents for improving health behavior.
I primarily work in R and Python with relevant experience in (My)SQL, JavaScript and VBA. Supervisors: Dr. André Krouwel, Dr. Damian Trilling, Dr. Wouter van Atteveldt, Dr. Michel Klein, Dr. Gert Jan de Bruijn, and Dr. Edith Smith Address: The Netherlands

Focusing on recent developments, the individual chapters explore a range of conspiratorial positions related to Europe. In the current climate of fear and threat, new and old imaginaries of conspiracy such as Islamophobia and anti-Semitism have been mobilised. A dystopian or even apocalyptic image of Europe in terminal decline is evoked in Eastern European and particularly by Russian pro-Kremlin media, while the EU emerges as a screen upon which several narratives of conspiracy are projected trans-nationally, ranging from the Greek debt crisis to migration, Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic. The methodological perspectives applied in this volume range from qualitative discourse and media analysis to quantitative social-psychological approaches, and there are a number of national and transnational case studies.
This book will be of great interest to students and researchers of extremism, conspiracy theories, and European politics.
