Kulturwissenschaftliche Fakultät
Sozial- und Kulturanthropologie
My research, situated mainly in the field of political anthropology and anthropology of religion, explores the questions of inequality, discrimination, and social hierarchies, and the ways different social actors address them. More specifically, I investigate why religion and nationalism provide people with a language that enable them to address such concerns and mobilize for action.
Both my previous and current empirical investigations have combined long-term ethnographic work with insights from sociology and history. I have published extensively on religious pluralism, national and ethnic minorities, multiculturalism, postsocialism, and, most recently, far-right politics and far-right movements. I have recently completed a book project on transnational activism of radical nationalist movements in Europe, and I am currently working on developing a new research agenda on race and religion.
