Biography

My research involves two domains. One of these is the ‘Development of Dutch television culture in a European context’. This research topic studies the development of television culture in the Netherlands taking into account European developments. It addresses questions of both production and consumption as practices that could be observed as a result of television’s role in the process of modernisation. The second research domain is ‘Media and Diaspora’, more in particular the role of media in the cultural construction of identities. This involves production and reception practices in public and particularistic media forms through which people construct and develop notions of cultural identity.
