Curriculum Vitae
Belle Derks was born on May 16th 1979 in Voorburg, the Netherlands. After spending her childhood in Den Haag, Zeist and Bunnik and receiving her secondary education diploma from the St. Bonifatius College in Utrecht in 1997, she pursued a Psychology Major at Leiden University. In her third year her interest in becoming a researcher was stirred while working on research with Colette van Laar in the Honours Research Project. This research collaboration was continued for her Master’s
thesis in her fourth year, during which she also spent six months at the University of California, Los Angeles. After receiving her Social Psychology Master’s degree (cum laude) in 2001, Belle worked at Leiden University as a research and teaching assistant. In July 2002, she started her Ph.D. project with Colette van Laar and Naomi Ellemers, which resulted in this dissertation. In the fourth year of her Ph.D.
project she spent three months at the University of Toronto working with Michael Inzlicht on research concerning neurological correlates of stereotype threat.
Currently, Belle works at Leiden University as a postdoctoral researcher.
