Biography

Sherene Farag is a PhD candidate at Utrecht University, focusing on the dominant discourses surrounding national identity and the concept of 'otherness' in the Netherlands. Her research investigates the frameworks of 'Dutchness' and how experiences of discriminatory discourses are reframed within social movement organizations. By analyzing national identities, which are collectively imagined and fixed yet prone to contestation and renegotiation, her work aims to understand how a broader inclusive national identity can emerge. Sherene's research is affiliated with the Department of Development Education Youth Diverse Societies (DEEDS).
