About Jorrit

I am a PhD student at the Faculty of Philosophy at the University of Groningen, writing a dissertation on climate change polarisation using insights from social epistemology and social influence modelling. Before starting my PhD, I studied Sociology at the University of Groningen (BSc) and the University of Oxford (MSc). I am particularly interested in the social and epistemological dynamics of polarisation, and how to mitigate deepening polarisation through different communication strategies.
