Migration and Nationalism Research Group

The Migration and Nationalism research group covers a wide range of dimensions of nationalism and migration, including perceptions and challenges of belonging, national-minorities rights and governance, economic impact of immigration, coexistence in multilingual societies, food and nationalism, xenophobia and right-wing populism.

The group is home to several PhD and postdoctoral researchers who are carrying out research within the field.
