Marlou Schrover is a full professor of migration history, holds the chair of Economic and Social History at Leiden University, and in this capacity leads a team of about 30 researchers. She has more than 170 publications including 7 books and 5 edited volumes. In 2013, she successfully concluded a vici project. She has served on the PhD committee of 50 PhD candidates, and annually supervises 20 master students and 25 bachelor students in writing their thesis. Currently she is (co-)supervising 10 PhD students. Most of her publications are on subjects related to this project: gender, class, ethnicity, sexuality, policy, migration, intersectionality, discourses and media, and the public vs private sphere. She has extensive experience in working with the material and methods suggested for this project.
Leiden University is internally recognised as a leader in the field of migration research. In 2006, Schrover organised the migration researchers at Leiden University into the Leiden Interdisciplinary Migration Seminar (LIMS), which currently has 170 members. LIMS is a member of IMISCOE (Europe’s largest migration research network). Schrover is the co-founder of the highly successful interdisciplinary LDE master sub-track Governance of Migration and Diversity, which is run with partners from Delft University (Urban Studies), the Erasmus University in Rotterdam (Public Administration and Sociology) and the Institute of Social Studies in The Hague (International Studies).
Schrover has been awarded 2.1 million euro’s in grants. In addition, she has, with others, been granted in 2019 by Leiden University 3.5 million euros of so-called Stimuleringsgelden, enabling the collaboration of migration researchers within Leiden University. With this money the History Department had been able to hire as a member of staff dr. Andrew Shield, who is a specialist in the field of sexuality, migration, and intimate citizenship. The LDE master has been expanded by the addition of an LDE research centre. For this the Erasmus University, Delft University and Leiden University provided 1 million euros which enabled each of the participants (including the History Department) to hire staff to do research in the field of governance of migration and diversity.
Schrover has a large number of other leadership tasks including editor-in-chief of the Journal of Migration History, board member of the Leiden History Institute, the ESSHC, and The Posthumus Institute (research school of Social and Economic History). She frequently speaks in front of non-academic audiences, appears in the press regularly, and talks with people working for NGOs, at Ministries, and with policy makers. She organises (with others) monthly interdisciplinary gatherings on migration research, plus a yearly conference that is attended by academics and non-academic participants. These contacts will be used for this project. She has experience with converting research outcomes to larger non-academic audiences (including an exhibition, school project, and theatre play).
