Jorrit Luimers

Biography

My academic fascination lies with investigating the impact of the internet and related communications technologies on our everyday lives, from political and professional to social and consumer behaviour, ranging from the overt, such as the potential political impact of social media on politics, to the covert, such as the existence and functioning of darknet markets. After obtaining my research master’s degree in social and cultural sciences from the Radboud University in 2020, I started my doctoral research where I investigate how consumers interact with new forms of monetization in digital games such as microtransactions.
