معرفی
Marieke van den Brink is Professor of Gender & Diversity at Radboud University's Faculty of Social Sciences and scientific director of Radboud Gender and Diversity Studies. Her research bridges academic theory with applied work for institutions including the Dutch Police Force, Military, and government ministries, focusing on intersectional inequality dynamics in organizational contexts.
She holds a cum laude Master's in Organizational Anthropology from the Free University of Amsterdam and a cum laude PhD in Management Sciences from Radboud University.
Her research examines how organizational processes create intersectional (in)equalities through power dynamics, resistance, and diversity work politics, linked to macro-trends like migration and austerity. Methodologically, she pioneers mixed-methods approaches emphasizing organizational ethnographies and discourse analysis to capture micro-processual change.
Recent publications (2019-2023) reveal consistent focus on intersectional equality frameworks across diverse sectors—from military integration resistance to father-friendly workplace policies—using qualitative insights to challenge conventional diversity management.
Key recognitions include:
- Young Academy of the Royal Netherlands Academy for Arts and Sciences membership (2015)
- EU FP7 Garcia project leadership (2013)
- NWO Veni grant (2011)
- Praemium Erasmianum Study Prize (2009)
- Dr. I.B.M. Frye Stipend (2007)
She directs major funded projects including EU-commissioned research on academic gender equality and national studies on workplace harassment, while leading Radboud Gender and Diversity Studies as an interdisciplinary hub for critical diversity scholarship.
