She received an ERC Advanced Grant for her research into ‘Investments in a sustainable workforce in Europe’. She is an elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences (2014), the Royal Holland Society of Sciences and Humanities (2013), and the European Academy of Sociology (2010). Her edited books include Quality of life and work in Europe: Theory, practice and policy (Palgrave, 2011), Competing claims in work and family life (Edward Elgar, 2007), and Women’s employment in a comparative perspective (Aldine de Gruyter, 2001). Zoltán Lippényi is assistant professor in Organizational and Economic Sociology at the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. He is a member of the Interuniversity Center for Social Science Theory and Methodology (ICS) and the ISA RC28 Social stratification and Mobility. He obtained his PhD (2014) in sociology at Utrecht University. Between 2014 and 2018, he worked as post-doctoral researcher within the ERC-financed Sustainable Workforce project, focusing on the consequences of organizational employment practices, and in particular adoption of flexible work and employment arrangements, for workplace inequality and employee outcomes. Since 2015, he represents the Netherlands in the Comparative Organizations and Inequality Network (COIN), a research collaboration studying workplace wage inequality from an international perspective. In this collaboration, he studies the effects of organizational context and change on inequality in wages, using register-based linked-employer employee datasets.
