Welcome

My name is Vardan Barsegyan. I am a sociologist (PhD, 2016) conducting quantitative research on social inequality. I study the mechanisms that reproduce inequality in the contexts of stratification and mobility, migration, education, politics, and the justice system.

I conduct rigorous, socially relevant research with potential policy impact.

I analyse large-scale survey and administrative data using R, Stata, Python, and Mplus.

I currently work as a researcher in asylum and migration at the WODC Research and Data Centre, the knowledge centre for justice and security in the Netherlands. From 2019 to 2023, I was a postdoctoral researcher in social inequality at the Department of Sociology at Utrecht University.

I was born in Armenia in 1990 and studied and grew up in Russia. I have lived in the Netherlands since 2016.
