About me

Greetings and welcome to my webpage. My name is Jan-Willem and I am a PhD student at the Utrecht University Sociology department.

The topic of my PhD thesis is how social norms diffuse within polarized social network structures. I am also interested in the application of methods and statistics to social networks. For samples of my work, please find my master thesis on the conditions under which a meta-analysis can be used to obtain a valid exponential random graph model over a network sample here.
