Eline Marie Linthorst

Eline Marie Linthorst is an Assistant Professor at the Erasmus School of Health Policy & Management, Erasmus University Rotterdam, within the Health Law & Ethics (HLE) department. Her academic work bridges law, public administration, and health policy, with a focus on the implementation and ethical implications of personalized care policies.

Her research interests lie at the intersection of health law, medical ethics, and public governance. She investigates how legal frameworks such as the Social Support Act (Wmo 2015) are interpreted and applied in practice, particularly in domestic and bureaucratic settings. Her work employs qualitative empirical methods to explore citizen rights, administrative decision-making, and the lived experiences of legal norms.

The recent publications reflect a thematic focus on 'maatwerk' (tailored care), examining its legal boundaries, judicial review, and impact on household dynamics. Her scholarship also delves into citizen-state encounters, emphasizing impression management and bureaucratic interactions. This body of work contributes to broader discussions in legal sociology, public administration, and social policy.
