Why do we often choose friends and partners with the same ethnic background? What is the impact of this segregation on social opportunities? Why is America’s income inequality much greater than that in Europe? These are the very topical questions that fascinate Frank van Tubergen and for which he seeks scientific and not ideological answers. Frank van Tubergen is a Social Sciences laureate of the Ammodo KNAW Award 2015.
