Hired by Nana Bio BV, I'm collaborating with Beyond Boundary to investigate how the principles of the organic movement—Health, Ecology, Fairness, and Care (IFOAM)—relate to the reality of genocide and ecocide in Palestine. We are writing an article based on this research, which we intend to publish.
In collaboration with Katinka Feijs, Beyond Boundary, and NaNa Bio, I translated these insights into an infographic that aims to raise awareness and stimulate dialogue about the intertwining of justice, ecology, and solidarity within the organic sector. This infographic is published in August and other products will be distributed in various ways, including at the February 2026 Biofach.
Duration: June 2025 - February 2026.
Organics For Palestine
Published in August 2025.
Establishment of BioJong
The future of the organic sector is not only defined by its agricultural model without pesticides and fertilizers, but also by the people who shape it. The energy, vision, and courage of young people are indispensable if the organic sector wants to work towards a just and resilient organic food chain. That's why, together with Christianne de Kort, I founded BioJong: a network that connects young people, amplifies their voices, and demonstrates that there is room for innovation in every link of the organic food chain. See this interview for more information:

Coloring Connections:
Researching Gender, Intersectionality, and Health in the Climate Crisis
Published on December 2, 2024.
In "Coloring Connections: Researching Gender, Intersectionality, and Health in the Climate Crisis," I collaborated on Chapter 6: Public Policy, Intersectionality, and Healthy Cities, with Petra Verdonk, Natalia Tumas, and Irene van Valkengoed. In this chapter, we explored how urban and public policy can be shaped more healthily, inclusively, and resiliently by incorporating gender, inequality, and power structures into policy analyses. I also developed the training "Critical Reflection on Frameworks of Reference in Relation to Health, Climate Justice, and Indigenous Knowledge," which challenges health researchers to critically question their frames of reference and create space for knowledge and perspectives that often remain marginalized.
Duration: June 2024 - December 2024.
Case studies
Intersectionality in policy
Published on August 29, 2024.
Commissioned by ECHO, the Expertise Center for Diversity Policy, I coordinated the Intersectionality Phase 2 pilot for the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science's Program Against Discrimination and Racism.
In this project, I collaborated with ECHO to develop several case studies and accompanying infographics and a cartoon about the history of intersectionality.
The aim of this project was to guide policymakers as best as possible in adopting and applying an intersectional lens in policy development.
Duration: December 2023 - September 2024.
Intersectionality in long-term healthcare
Published on July 1, 2024.
For the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport, I coordinated a project on intersectionality in long-term healthcare on behalf of ECHO, the Expertise Center for Diversity Policy.
In this project, we conducted a literature review on intersectionality-based policy analysis in healthcare and social work, including an accessible summary of the key insights. We also identified best practices and practical tools to help policymakers better integrate diversity and intersectionality into their work.
The findings were discussed and explored in reflection sessions with both experts with lived experience and policy officers from the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport. The result is a final report that provides direction for more inclusive policy development in long-term care.

Action Framework Intersectionality in policy
Published in April 2023.
Commissioned by ECHO, the Expertise Centre for Diversity Policy, I coordinated the pilot Intersectional Perspective in the Discrimination Approach for the Ministries of Social Affairs and Employment (SZW) and Education, Culture and Science (OCW).
This pilot program was implemented at the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. For this program, I developed the Masterclass "Intersectionality from Theory to Practice and Policy." In collaboration with ECHO and participants in this pilot program, the Action Framework: Getting Started with Intersectionality in Policy was also developed. The goal of this action framework is to guide policymakers in applying an intersectional perspective in policy analysis, development, and evaluation.

#Multinclude Report
Published in May 2020.
As program manager of ECHO, the Expertise Center for Diversity Policy, I described and analyzed more than 70 cases of inclusive education from around the world within the framework of the European project #Multinclude. I also co-authored the meta-analysis of these case studies, which served as the basis for policy recommendations to the European Commission.

Students-4-Students Campaign
From 2017 to 2022, I coordinated the national Students-4-Students (S4S) campaign. This included 27 projects at universities of applied sciences and research universities throughout the Netherlands. The campaign's goal was to promote equal opportunities in higher professional education (HBO) and research universities (WO) by creating inclusive learning environments, increasing academic success, and fostering a stronger sense of belonging in students. I developed and delivered training courses, provided substantive guidance to project leaders on diversity, inclusion, and equal opportunities, and analyzed the project results using a Theory of Change model. The goal of this campaign was to innovate and embed diversity and inclusion in higher education.
Duration: September 2017 - December 2022.
