Vera de Bel studied Cultural Anthropology at the University of Amsterdam and continued her studies at the Univeristy of Groningen, pursuing the Research Master Sociology. In September 2015 she started her PhD in which she investigates the consequences of parental divorce on family relationships and family members’ well-being. Besides her research, she is committed to committee work; she is head of the PR team of the PhD Day and chair of the BSS PhD council.
