I am a social science researcher working at the nexus of human geography, demography and sociology. Main topics of interest include older migrants and their well-being, regional differences in ageing, social networks and support, and social solidarity. In the past I have looked at the case of Bulgarian older adults, Polish migrants and their parents left behind and the social networks and support systems of Europeans. Currently I am mainly researching older migrants in the Netherlands.
