J. (Jana) Schilling M.Sc.

Junior researcher

I am a Junior Researcher at the Generations and Gender Programme (GGP), where I contribute across the data life cycle, from supporting fieldwork operations and survey implementation to data processing and dissemination. I also communicate GGP data, research, and activities to wider audiences through the programme’s LinkedIn page and monthly newsletter.

Having lived in eight countries, I developed a strong interest in migration, mobility inequalities, belonging, and community building. These interests led me to a bachelor’s degree in International Relations at the University of Exeter, where my thesis explored how inclusive communities can recognise social differences without reproducing exclusion. I later completed a Research Master’s in Migration, Ethnic Relations, and Multiculturalism at Utrecht University, where my thesis applied theories of collective psychological ownership to gatekeeping practices in the Dutch queer underground electronic dance scene. My broader research interests centre on interdisciplinary approaches to intergroup relations, identity, and inclusion.
