Meet our 2025 NWIB Visiting Professor: Marina de Regt
NVIC is delighted to host Dr. Marina de Regt from the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam as our NWIB Visiting Professor during 2,5 months this Fall.
Marina de Regt is Associate Professor at the Department of Social and Cultural Anthropology of Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. She has done extensive research in Yemen, Ethiopia and Jordan, focusing on issues related to gender, migration and development. Her most recent research focuses on Yemenis of mixed descent, so-called muwalladeen, and their shifting identities in the diaspora. Marina has published extensively via academic and non-academic channels, and tries to disseminate her research findings also via documentaries, blogs, podcasts and other media.
During her research stay at NVIC, Marina is finalizing a number of publications and doing preliminary research among Yemeni migrants and refugees in Cairo, with special attention for muwalladeen.
Marina will give a lecture about her research on 4 December at 6pm at NVIC:
