Biography

Anick Vollebergh is an Assistant Professor at Radboud University, specializing in Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies. Her research interests include ethics, personhood, authority, freedom, conviviality in urban life, phenomenology of race, and the dynamics of liberal-secularism and new public governance. She explores the complexities of state-citizen relations, particularly in contexts marked by urban marginality and postcolonial dynamics in Europe. Anick is a co-applicant of the Dutch Research Agenda project 'Crafting Resilience', which examines new forms of governance through collaboration between state institutions and marginalized communities.

Anick's academic work emphasizes the importance of understanding lived experiences and practical governance in addressing urban and ethnic disparities.
