I am a student in the Global-MINDS Joint Master’s Program, the Erasmus Mundus Master in the Psychology of Global Mobility, Inclusion, and Diversity. I received my BA in Psychology from the University of Twente, Netherlands. I am particularly interested in how people perceive and respond to socially relevant issues. For my thesis, I am exploring under the supervision of Ann-Cathrin Coenen how people in Germany make sense of the country’s defense policy, situating it within its broader cultural and political context.
