DIFFERENCE, COEXISTENCE AND CITIZENSHIP
This line is led by Helene Risor and Marjorie Murray. Its goal is to study everyday practices of intercultural coexistence and the contexts and events in which conflict emerges. Through studies that give account of current reality and studies that address the historical processes involved, this relations are analyzed at micro and macro levels paying special attention to expressions of discrimination and racism. At the same time, this line’s researchers study state and non-state attempts to handle and overcome these conflicts, considering also the manifold forms of subjectivity and citizenship that emerge from these processes.
