Martijn Schoonvelde

I work as an assistant professor European Politics & Society at University of Groningen.

Prior to this, I worked as an assistant professor in Political Science at University College Dublin. I also worked a postdoctoral fellow in Political Science at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam; as a Max Weber fellow at the European University Institute in Florence; and as a research fellow at the University of Exeter. I received my PhD from Stony Brook University.

In my current work, I am particularly interested in the way that politicians construct authority claims in their discourse: on what basis, how and with what purpose do they advocate for a particular course of action? My methodological interests concern issues related to multilingual text analysis and images as a means of political communication, and the use of new NLP methods for social science purposes.
