I finished my Research Master’s studies in the Humanities at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. I have completed a thesis on the voice of rebellion in the San Franciscan poetry of Lawrence Ferlinghetti and Thom Gunn between 1970 and 2000. I have also written on the European travels of Ferlinghetti and his representation of Amsterdam. 

My main research interests are urban American literature, San Francisco and the poetics of rebellion, hence I tend to look towards the Beat Generation.
