Short biography | |
Richard L. Zijdeman obtained his PhD at the Interuniversity Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology (ICS), Utrecht University in 2010. His main research focuses on social stratification structures and how and why people are moving across these structures (mobility / status attainment). He thereby focuses specifically on the issue of how technological changes (e.g. industrialization, internet, means of transportation) facilitate opportunities or raise barriers for such movements. Currently the focus of his research is on gender segregation and female labour force participation in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Zijdeman is a (part-time) postdoctoral fellow at the CLIO-INFRA project at the International Institute of Social History. He is also an Honorary Research Fellow at the Department of Applied Social Science of the University of Stirling and co-founder of the international academic collaboratory HISCO. He is involved in several research projects, e.g. the project "Towards Open Societies" and the HIS-CAM-project.
Richard Zijdeman joined the research team of the ERC-project "United We Stand" at Utrecht University from February 2013 until December 2013 to work on issues of household formation and marriage patterns. | |
