Hans Blokland Works is an addition to Social Science Works, the social enterprise that I am privileged to direct. Before and after I founded this enterprise, I published articles and books at other places. These can be found on this website, along some other info like interviews and reviews. I used to be Dutch. Consequently, I also published and sometimes still publish in the Dutch language. These Dutch publications can also be found on this site.

Printed Articles
Since 1986 I have published articles and chapters in various magazines, weeklies and books. This was initially mainly in Dutch and then in English and German. In addition, in the last decade I started to write more and more web articles. This is not only motivated by the desire to save trees.

Podcast
In the winter of 2022, Zak Reimer talked with Hans Blokland about some core ideas behind Social Science Works and its projects: democracy, deliberation, populism, radicalization, discrimination, usable knowledge, among other things. By introducing short series discussing one or two issues, rather than long elaborate conversations, we hope to give you more insight, information or even inspiration to reflect on important social-political theories, methods and problems that SSW deals with.
