About Andreas

I am professor of sociology at the Department of Sociology, at the Faculty for Social and Behavioral Sciences of the University of Groningen, and the ICS. Since July 2021 I am also the editor of the journal Rationality & Society (see here my editorial statement). In 2023, I have been appointed as fellow of the European Academy of Sociology.

Norms and networks
I study in particular modeling of norms and networks together with members of my research group “Norms and Networks”.

Research
My main research addresses social integration, cooperation problems, social networks and learning theory. For this, I apply agent-based computational and game theoretical modeling, laboratory experiments, network research, survey research and various other methods.

Output
My work has been published in social science journals like American Journal of Sociology, Journal of Conflict Resolution, or Organization Science, but also in multidisciplinary journals like the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences or Science and specialized journals like PloS Computational Biology, Sociology of Education, Rationality and Society, or Journal of Mathematical Sociology. For a full list of publications, see my CV or Google Scholar.
