Yannick Drijfhout is a PhD Candidate in the Crafting Resilience project. In his current research project, led by Anouk de Koning, he studies how social policy actors and engaged residents (re)configure socio-political relations. Via ethnographic fieldwork he focusses on governing-through-community programs in ethno-racially diverse and socio-economically marginalized urban areas.

Current Research

I am a PhD researcher in the Crafting Resilience project, which studies the politics and practice of social resilience across the Netherlands. The project is led by Anouk de Koning (UvA), Femke Kaulingfreks (UvA and InHolland), and Maartje van der Woude (Leiden University). My PhD is part of the research line that examines new social policies seeking to collaborate with residents and the neighborhood.
