Understanding ALGorithmic gatekeepers to promote EPIstemic welfare KU Leuven
Technological and economic developments have led to the availability of an overwhelming quantity of digital content. Therefore, it has become crucial, in particular for media content providers, to incorporate algorithmic gatekeepers, which filter, rank and recommend content. Are these algorithmic gatekeepers undermining media’s contribution to epistemic welfare?
In ALGEPI, we start from the novel concept of epistemic welfare, defined as ...

insights in the complex processes at play in the (non-)take-up of welfare rights in situations of
poverty and to examine the role of social work in this context. The project builds on three basic
premises: (1) it captures ...
Immigrants' attitudes towards social redistribution, government intervention and the welfare state: A comparison of Turkish, Moroccan and native Belgians. KU Leuven
The presence of immigrants has set off a debate on ‘who is in and who is out’ the protection of the welfare state. In this respect, migrants are easily seen as a strain for economy and welfare state.
