My research has been focusing on international Human Resource Management, and particularly expatriates. With my PhD research In Touch with the Dutch my interest in expatriate-host country national interactions started, a topic I have pursued since with several publications, and about which I have written a practitioner-oriented book. Breaking out of the Expat Bubble will come out on the 5th of February 2024! Please find below a list of my publications, with summary blog posts and links to the articles, as well as links to other current and past research projects.
