She obtained her PhD on morbidity and mortality patterns of infants and children in 19th and early 20th-century Netherlands in 2019 (Sociology, Tilburg University). She is co-editor of the Yearbook of Women's History, a peer-reviewed academic annual covering all aspects of gender connected with historical research throughout the world. She is Secretary of the International Committee for Historical Demography (ICHD) and the Association of Young Historical Demographers (AYHD). Currently, her research activities include relinquishment and adoption practices of young women in the Netherlands in the period 1956-1984 (Verwey-Jonker Institute).
Research
Specific research interests include the history of childhood, gender history, female labour participation, public health, social epidemiology, family and care, and (cause specific) mortality. Besides her affiliation with Leiden University, she participated in the national inquiry on violence in the Dutch youth care system after 1945, commissioned by the De Winter Commission (2019) and the current national inquiry on relinquishment for adoption in the Netherlands between 1956 and 1984 (Ministry of Safety and Justice, The Hague).
