Liselot Casteleyn
Biography
She graduated as a Master of Science in Criminology (2017) and a Master in Conflict and Development (2019). Liselot spent one semester of her master studying abroad at the University of Kent in Canterbury. During her studies, she discovered her passion for critical social research, which is reflected in her theses on the demonized Arab-European League and the resilient Kenyan LGBTIQ+ movement.
Before starting her doctoral research, Liselot worked as a scientific researcher at the Institute for International Research on Criminal Policy (IRCP) at the University of Ghent on two short term projects. Later, she had the opportunity to get to know and work for two socially engaged organisations, first as a job counsellor for vzw JES and later as a staff member for HUURpunt vzw.
