Stéfanie has an interdisciplinary background in policy sociology and works as an associate professor of Public Administration at Radboud University Nijmegen. Her research focuses on people's work-life and work-care balance from the perspective of policy inclusivity. She also conducts research into the consequences of housing policy, on which she wrote her PhD thesis at Tilburg University in 2017.
She is currently working on both the English-language Handbook on Modern Fatherhood (Edward Elgar, 2027) and the Dutch-language Moderne Vaders (AtlasContact).
For her interdisciplinary and collaborative work as co-leader of the Radboud WORKLIFE consortium, she received the Nijmegen School of Management's ‘Researcher of the Year Award’ in 2021. In 2024, the book ‘Maintaining a Sustainable Work-Life Balance: An Interdisciplinary Path to a Better Future’, co-edited by her, was published by Edward Elgar.
In 2022, Stéfanie received an NWO-Veni Grant for her research project ‘Fathers combining work and care’, in which she investigates the work-care ambitions and work-care behaviour of fathers and how fathers interact with family policy to combine their roles as employees and carers. With the NWO-XS (2023) funded postdoc, she is also working on how intergenerational transmission of work-care norms influences men's use of family policy arrangements.
Stéfanie believes it is important to contribute to an open and positive culture at the university. Since 2021, she has been a member of Halkes+, the university's women's (+) network, where she was vice-chair from 2021 to 2023. Since 2025, she has also been a member of the Radboud Young Academy. In addition, she is a member of the Board of Examination Appeals (CBE).
