Research priorities
include
1. "Immigration
and the Challenge to National Identities". The arrival of migrants from
the Middle East and Africa directly fueled the rise of right-wing populist
leaders throughout Europe. How can such challenges be met both effectively and
in a way that respects human dignity?
2.
"Islamophobia, "Christian" Identity, and the Secular
State". How have definitions of religious identity affected definitions of
political identity, and what can be done to defuse such tensions?
