Her research focuses on radical democratic theory's tensions between unity and conflict, feminist and postcolonial critiques of democracy, and the philosophical underpinnings of communitarianism. She actively engages with figures like Gayatri Spivak, Jacques Rancière, and Claude Lefort.
Recent publications and presentations analyze right-wing populism's impact on democratic structures, intersectionality in political discourse, and affective subjectivity in radical theory. She co-organizes academic events like the international congress "Political Theory in Times of Uncertainty" and the workshop "Widerständige Subjektivierung".
Verhoeven serves on Bielefeld University's Equal Opportunities Commission (Faculty of Sociology) and contributes to the editorial team of theorieblog.de. Her planned monograph "Zur Aktualität von Gayatri Spivak" (2025) further explores postcolonial democratic theory.
