Nena van der Horst is a Dutch scholar with a background in law and economics. She obtained both her master’s degree in law (cum laude) and her master’s degree in economics at the Radboud University in Nijmegen. She is interested in sustainable private law and behavioral economics and especially the combination of the two. Nena joins the University of Amsterdam and the Amsterdam Center for Transformative Private Law as a PhD candidate. She will be part of Professor Marija Bartl’s ERC-funded project ‘Law as Vehicle for Social Change: Mainstreaming Non-Extractive Economic Practices’. Within this project, Nena’s PhD research asks which organizational structures support an altruistic mindset (as opposed to a market mentality) and how we can create these organizational structures with private legal tools.
