Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnne Kroon is an Associate Professor of Corporate Communication at the University of Amsterdam specializing in computational approaches to bias in digital media and recruitment. With nine years of academic experience, she combines experimental methods and machine learning analyses to trace how depictions and algorithmic profiling shape prejudice and labor-market exclusion, particularly for older job seekers. She leads infrastructure projects—Twi-XL and the Media and Content Analysis Lab—aimed at accelerating computational research for social sciences and integrates communication-science tools into national SSH data ecosystems. Her NWO-funded work on annotation bias probes a less obvious driver of model unfairness by linking human labeling practices to downstream classification harms. A passionate educator and co-supervisor of multiple PhD projects, she trains the next generation of researchers in big-data and digital methods. Based in the Netherlands, she bridges rigorous theory, practical infrastructure building, and policy-relevant impact in computational communication science.
