Our research on religion aims to understand the underlying dynamics and different aspects of religious inequality, as well as how religious employees themselves navigate this.

The sustainable employment research line focuses on the employment of groups distant from the labour market and examines opportunities and methodologies to make jobs and workplaces more inclusive.

Specific project: “Van niet-beroepsactief naar duurzaam tewerkgesteld: Een blauwdruk voor een match tussen niet-beroepsactieven en werkgevers via jobontwerp.”

The newly emerging discipline of Animal Organisation Studies takes an interest in the uses and abuses of animals within organisations and management. More specifically, the discipline aims to expose normalized patterns of animal violence and exploitation (often in for-profit organisations) and, at the same time, identify more promising and sustainable alternatives to animals and organisations.

We focus on researching inequalities in the workplace through an intersectional lens. This means we consider how overlapping and intersecting identities—such as gender, race, socioeconomic status, disability, and sexual orientation—combine to create unique experiences of inequality. By examining these intersections, we aim to promote an understanding of inclusion that accounts for the often hidden, complex dynamics that shape individuals' experiences in professional environments.

Our research focused on disability in the workplace aims to address ableism and its constraining outcomes in organizations. This includes research on neurodiversity (e.g., employees with autism, ADHD, dyslexia and dyscalculia...) in which we specifically address how organizations tend to favour neurotypical workers and how we can unlock the strengths of a neurodiverse workforce.
