Personal profile

Research interests

Caroline's main research interests concern the dynamics of social stratification, from a comparative perspective. In 2011, Caroline received an ERC Starting Grant. In the HOWCOME-project, the interplay during the post-war period between changes in economic and social inequalities and changing housing regimes was analysed. Her most recent work focusses on the intergenerational transmission of poverty and wealth, and on the macro-level drivers of poverty and wealth, social and political outcomes, and housing opportunities of young adults. Caroline is currently Work Package (WP3)-lead in EqualHouse (HorizonEurope, 2024-2027): From Housing Inequality to Sustainable, Inclusive, and Affordable Housing Solutions.
