Broadly formulated her research interest encompasses poverty, gender
and livelihood strategies. She has done extensive fieldwork in Mexico,
Peru and The Netherlands. In Lima, Peru, she has analyzed why female micro-entrepreneurs
working in the informal economy earn structurally less than their male
counterparts do. Also, this study sheds light on the relation between
the formal and informal industry and the labor relations within micro-production.
Regarding her research on poverty in Amsterdam, she has focused on single
motherhood, the construction of identity and livelihood strategies within
the welfare state. Her current research with CEDLA brings her back to
Peru again and is part of the research program 'Incatourism in the Andean
highlands'. She is studying processes of policymaking regarding tourism,
more specifically the conservation of the environment, landscape and culture.
She especially focuses on the role of the local communities in these processes.
