I am a sociocultural anthropologist and have recently completed my PhD at the University of Adelaide. Currently, I am lecturing there in the Department of Anthropology & Development Studies on a sessional basis. My doctoral research concerns contemporary (post-apartheid) Afrikaner emigration to Australia. Based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork in Australia, theoretically my work focuses on the concept of loss of belonging. Subsequently, my expertise extends to theories of grief, mourning and meaning-making as well as attachment, identity and inclusion/exclusion. Within these conceptual fields, I am specifically interested in settler colonialism and whiteness studies and in the ways in which coloniality (in)forms our world, particularly in Oceania. My research interests further lie in critical theory, migration, Indigenous studies and the intergenerational transmission of identity in settler colonial societies.
My background is in African Studies (MPhil, Leiden University), Conflict Studies & Human Rights (MA, Utrecht University) and Language & Culture Studies with a specialisation in International Relations (BA, Utrecht University). I have also conducted an intensive diplomatic training in International Affairs at the Clingendael Institute in the Netherlands. I have lived, studied, worked and/or conducted research in Zambia, the Netherlands, Spain, South Africa, Aruba, the USA, Sweden, Kenya, Belgium and Australia.
