JA (Jasmin) Seijbel, MA

Biography

Jasmin Seijbel works as a researcher in the Media and Communication department at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her research focuses on sport, popular culture, media, and inequalities, with particular attention to antisemitism and other forms of discrimination in football cultures.

Her doctoral research examines football-related antisemitic discourse in online and offline spaces. More broadly, she investigates how exclusionary ideas and practices are produced, negotiated, normalised, and contested within fan communities and wider media cultures. Her previous work has addressed right-wing extremist discourse on social media, football-related antisemitism, and the methodological challenges of conducting research in masculinised environments.

Jasmin has an interdisciplinary background, holding a Master’s degree in Global History and International Relations from Erasmus University Rotterdam and a Master’s degree in Cultural Anthropology and Development Studies from KU Leuven.

Alongside her work at Erasmus University Rotterdam, she teaches qualitative research methods in the Master’s programme Sport Marketing & Partnerships at Rotterdam University of Applied Sciences and is involved in several research projects centred on sport and media.
