Projects in Research Area "Migration and Integration"

This research area is dedicated to the analysis of the social and political dimensions of immigration societies. Our work explores causes and consequences of different facets of migrant integration on different stages over their life course. We investigate the determinants of diverse forms of migration, immigration policies, and political mobilization related to immigration issues. Our research probes perceptions and attitudes of host communities towards immigration and migrant communities, including processes of discrimination and prevalence of xenophobia.
