Borja Martinović

Borja Martinović is a researcher in the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Martinović works on intergroup relations, with particular attention to collective psychological ownership, territorial ownership perceptions, and how these dynamics shape attitudes toward immigrants, indigenous peoples, and minority groups. Much of this work examines how majority group members perceive ownership over national territory and the consequences of that perception for reconciliation, welfare chauvinism, and support for or opposition to social and political change. Recent publications address topics including double standards in immigration attitudes, group apologies in transitional justice, and the conditions under which people support incremental versus radical social change.
