Saskia works as a lecturer-researcher at the Lectoraat Human Experience & Media Design (HEMD). In her research, she explores how political emotions shape citizen participation in Digital Democratic Innovations (DDI), and conversely how DDIs influence these emotions.
Richtext
By investigating how these emotions influence individual and collective agency in decision-making, the project aims to design new tools that foster empowerment in emotionally charged policy contexts. Through design-driven research, the study aims to create inclusive DDIs that empower citizens and promote equal democratic participation. The findings will contribute to more equitable, effective and participatory systems.
