Carmen Longas Luque is a Postdoc researcher and lecturer at the Erasmus Research Institute for Media, Culture, History and Society at Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her research investigates how discourses of race and ethnicity influence televised football, examining the relationship between production practices, media content, and how audiences respond. This project is part of the NWO-funded research initiative How racist is televised football and do audiences react? (2018-2024), supervised by prof. dr. Jacco van Sterkenburg (promotor) and Dr. Melodine Sommier (co-promotor). She is also currently exploring the area of e-sports and inclusionary and exclusionary practices in that space (2025-26).

Carmen holds a bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (2014) and a research master’s degree in Behavioural Science from Radboud University Nijmegen (2018). In her master’s thesis, she examined how teachers' attitudes toward students from ethnic minority backgrounds influence their culturally responsive teaching practices, highlighting her longstanding interest in race, representation, and institutional dynamics.
