Hi! My name is Mariëlle. I’m currently Associate Professor in Internet Governance at Maastricht University, where I research how states navigate the complex transnational dependencies that structure their information environments, how internet governance impacts human rights, and how values connected to digital rights are promoted and contested in multistakeholder global governance fora.
I regularly write analyses on internet and platform governance, digital interdepence and related topics, and provide commentary for Dutch and international media. I welcome media requests on, among other topics:
- Internet and platform governance, in particular in relation to human rights, censorship and digital authoritarianism
- Digital interdependence, autonomy/sovereignty
- Russia politics and society, in particular in relation to internet censorship, digital policy, media freedom and transnational information suppression
