Biography

[edit]

Robeyns is from Leuven, Belgium. She earned a Belgian licentiate qualification in economics from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven) in 1994. She went on to study social and political science in Germany at the Georg August Universität, Göttingen (University of Göttingen). Robeyns returned to the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven for her MSc in economics, which she completed in 1997.

Her doctorate in economics came from the University of Cambridge in 2003. Her dissertation was on gender inequality and the capability approach.[4] Robeyns also has an MA in philosophy from the Open University (2007).[4][5]

Robeyns claimed dual Dutch/Belgian citizenship in 2013.[6]

Academic career

In 2006, the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO) awarded her a five-year Vidi grant for research on theories of justice.[4] The research considers what the question of justice means within the welfare state for children, parents and non-parents.[7] In 2018 Robeyns was elected member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences.[8]
