Dr. Marieke Van Den Brink

Biography

Marieke van den Brink’s research focuses on organizational processes that create intersectional (in)equalities, particularly interested in the politics of diversity work, dynamics of individual and collective change agents, resistance, and the challenges of developing intersectional policies. She is the Professor of Gender Diversity at Radboud University, where she also serves as the scientific director of the Radboud Gender and Diversity Studies program. The central themes of her research and teaching are gender diversity in organizations, individual and collective change agency, organizational learning and change, and power resistance. She links these themes to macro developments such as migration, new public management, and austerity through an innovative mixed methods approach that emphasizes qualitative techniques, organizational ethnographies, and discourse analysis. Marieke holds a master’s degree in Organizational Anthropology from the Free University of Amsterdam and received her PhD in Management Sciences at Radboud University, both with cum laude honors. She is an elected member of the Young Academy of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences and has been awarded several research grants for her work.
