Dr. Lieselotte Blommaert studies inclusion / exclusion, inequalities, discrimination and diversity in the labour market, often with a focus on recruitment and selection processes (e.g., hiring procedures).
Her research provides new insights in differences in labor market opportunities and outcomes, and what explains these. For example, it sheds light on the role of biases, stereotypes, social network resources, social contact, and (public/organizational) policies.
In recent research, she examines people's views on the pervasiveness of discrimination and unequal opportunities in society and on anti-discrimination and inclusion policies. What do people think about these matters and which factors affect their beliefs?
Tackling research questions that are both scientifically and societally relevant, she has experience with policy research and policy evaluations, projects commissioned by and in cooperation with actors like local governments or ministries.
She has broad experience with collecting new data. She uses (innovative combinations of) a variety of research methods, including surveys, experiments (e.g. field experiments, survey experiments), interviews, and case studies.
