Biography

Toon Kuppens is an Assistant Professor at the University of Groningen specializing in organizational psychology. His research primarily focuses on the study of social class and educational background, using sociological and social psychological approaches. Kuppens employs a social identity framework to explore how education influences social and political attitudes. His findings suggest that individuals with higher educational attainment are often more tolerant than previously assumed, which raises important questions about how educational status shapes positive social identity and positions within society. Kuppens aims to understand the attitudes of highly educated individuals in relation to their counterparts with lower educational backgrounds, examining the complexities of these interactions in a broader societal context.
