ABOUT
EELKE HEEMSKERK
I am an Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Amsterdam (UvA). I direct the ERC-funded CORPNET research group and am co-director of POPNET, a digital research infrastructure for population scale network analysis. In addition, I am director of the new first Computational Social Science bachelors programme in the Netherlands. As a management consultant, I work with top management teams and boards of public and private organizations on issues of corporate governance and strategy.
My research has appeared in a wide range of journals, including Scientific Reports, PlosONE, RIPE, Economy & Society, Business & Politics and Strategic Management Journal. Currently, my research revolves around three themes: Population Scale Network Analysis, the political economy of sustainable finance in the age of passive investing, and networked elements of global corporate governance.
