Borja Martinović

Borja Martinović is a researcher in the Department of Interdisciplinary Social Science at Utrecht University in the Netherlands. Martinović's work centers on intergroup relations, with particular attention to collective psychological ownership and how perceptions of territorial and epistemic ownership shape attitudes toward immigrants, Indigenous peoples, and minority groups. Recent publications have examined topics ranging from welfare chauvinism and immigration attitudes to reconciliation in conflict regions such as Kosovo and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, as well as the conditions under which majority populations support or oppose social change and collective action. Martinović has also written on transitional justice, including the role of group apologies in post-conflict settings.
