Judith Jansma

Judith Jansma is an assistant professor in European Culture and Literature at the University of Groningen. Her research provides an interdisciplinary perspective on the reception of controversial cultural works in our polarized societies. In her PhD thesis, titled “From Submission to Soumission: Populist Perspectives on Culture” (2021) she studies the various ways in which (right-wing) populists in France and the Netherlands make use of culture to forge (socio-cultural) identities of “us” and “them”.  Jansma holds both a MA and a BA degree in French Language and Culture.
