His work combines historical and contemporary university records with quasi-experimental research designs to examine the long-run ramifications of young Americans' post-secondary education and specialization decisions, with a particular focus on university policies that promote socioeconomic mobility. Education Ph.D. in Economics from UC Berkeley B.A. in Economics, Mathematics, and Philosophy from Amherst College Research Interests Bleemer specializes in the economics of education, focusing on long-run student outcomes of post-secondary educational policies and decisions. His research examines university policies that promote socioeconomic mobility, affirmative action and other access-oriented admissions policies, the consequences of student debt accumulation, widespread misinformation about the costs and benefits of higher education, and state disinvestment from public higher education. His work often combines large-scale historical and contemporary university records with quasi-experimental research designs to identify causal effects of educational policies.

Publication Trends Bleemer's research portfolio shows a consistent focus on higher education policy and economic mobility, with increasing attention to historical perspectives on college access and outcomes. His most recent work examines how the college wage premium has changed for different socioeconomic groups over the past century, revealing a trend toward 'collegiate regressivity' where lower-income students receive a smaller relative return from college attendance than they did in the mid-20th century. His publications span top economics journals including the Quarterly Journal of Economics and the American Economic Journal: Applied Economics.

Her educational background includes a Master of Arts in Anthropology from the University of Cape Town, with doctoral research exploring human-environment relationships in Kimberley, South Africa, where she established the social anthropology department and undergraduate programme. As a social anthropologist and STS scholar, Truyts' research critically examines nourishment, reproduction (including epigenetics and DOHaD), and human/environment intra-action through decolonial frameworks. Her work bridges urban anthropology, health studies, and post-apartheid analysis, with particular focus on how spatial materiality shapes knowledge production and how racialized legacies manifest in contemporary institutions. She advocates for emplacement theory to center Global South perspectives in dismantling colonial academic structures. Her publication portfolio reveals consistent thematic evolution toward methodological innovation in decolonizing pedagogy and ethnographic practice. Early work analyzed tuberculosis stigma through improvisational research methods in South Africa, while recent scholarship develops spatial-material approaches to teaching social sciences across Southern African universities. Key threads include challenging developmentalist narratives in urban contexts, deconstructing racial dynamics in post-apartheid institutions, and creating embodied learning frameworks that situate students within historically contested communities. Truyts actively contributes to academic discourse through initiatives like the Science and Society Network and media engagements including the 'Academic Citizen' podcast episode on new universities. Her collaborative projects with Monash University and Southern African institutions demonstrate sustained commitment to transnational, interdisciplinary research addressing structural inequities in education and healthcare systems. Her laboratory of practice manifests through community-engaged projects like the 'Big Hole Counter Narrative' initiative at Sol Plaatje University, where she integrated anthropology courses with local artists and performance troupes to generate alternative urban narratives through film, musical performances, and student exhibitions.
