Not Feeling Politically Represented
Scholarship considers that political representation fails when the identities and interests of minorities are invisible in legislative bodies. But what does ‘not feeling politically represented’ mean for minoritised citizens? Studying experiences of negative political representation through 29 focus groups with 143 participants across minoritised groups in Western European countries – France, Germany, and the Netherlands – this article constructs…
Policies and initiatives to facilitate timely discharge from hospitals
BACKGROUND: Timely discharge of patients who are clinically ready to be discharged from hospitals to the next point of care is a common health system challenge. Ensuring safe and effective discharge holds new urgency, given the backlogs and increased waiting times for inpatient services in many countries after the COVID-19 pandemic. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to identify policy options for addressing delayed discharges in six European countries (…

Who still wants to enter politics? Intersectional perspectives of young women aspirants on violence against politicians
This article explores the impact of violence on young women’s political aspirations in the Netherlands, highlighting its potential to deter future women politicians. Through seven online focus groups with 37 young women considering a political career, our findings indicate that witnessing violence poses an important obstacle. Intersectional differences emerged: aspirant women with migration backgrounds report greater deterrence due to intersectin…
Imagined constituents
The presence of minoritized representatives is considered essential to advance the interests and inclusion of minoritized groups. But do minoritized citizens prefer politicians like them? Drawing on nineteen focus groups (N = 98) with minoritized Dutch and German citizens, I ask how citizens evaluate (descriptive) representatives. Citizens see descriptive representation as intersectional. They value politicians - regardless of descriptive status …
Antecedents and consequences of perceived misrecognition and perceived discrimination in ethnic minorities
Claiming the right to belong
This article examines ‘de-stigmatisation strategies’ of Turkish-Dutch youth. Our in-depth interviews and observations revealed three strategies to negotiate belonging in the Netherlands, particularly to resist dominant Dutch characterisations of Turks and Muslims as backwards, disloyal and unintegrated: (1) confronting by asserting their right to cultural distinctiveness, (2) convincing by relocating cultural achievements in their heritage, and (…
Political Representation and Intersectionality
How do ethnically/racially minoritized citizens feel represented by increasingly diverse parliaments? We approach this question intersectionally and study how ethnically/racially minoritized citizens (i) constitute and politicize self-identifications and interests, (ii) assess political representation, and (iii) discuss who represents them. We draw on twelve focus groups with Turkish, Moroccan, and Surinamese-Dutch citizens (N = 65), and find tha…
Super Politicians? Perspectives of Minoritized Citizens on Representation
How do minoritized citizens think about the politicians that represent them? How should they act and be? Drawing on 19 focus group interviews with 98 participants with a migration background in Germany and the Netherlands, we find that citizens’ evaluation of politicians depends on several factors. Politicians should be responsive, accessible, inclusive, and empathetic. Some participants consider empathy an essential quality for non-descriptive p…
Where are you really from? Understanding misrecognition from the experiences of French and Dutch Muslim women students
We investigate experiences of misrecognition through comparative focus groups with headscarf-wearing Muslim women students in France (N = 46) and in the Netherlands (N = 32). In both countries, women reported experiencing misrecognition across four interrelated dimensions: (1) totalising misrecognition, having their Muslim identity highlighted at the expense of other group affiliations; (2) membership misrecognition, having their national belongi…
