Introduction
I am an interdisciplinary scholar of racism, diversity and human rights, with a particular interest in employment and education as social and political fields. My work is mainly driven by a will to expose the institutional sources of racial and other inequalities, as well as to theorise legal and political action toward social justice.

With the development of human rights and anti-discrimination law, courts have increasingly been called upon to protect ethnicity-related practices from general criminal and civil sanctions. These ‘claims of culture’ have so far been addressed with remarkable inconsistency, leading to popular fears of unlimited normative pluralism and targeted legis...
Faced with widespread prejudice and discrimination, European Muslims are increasingly resorting to the European Court of Human Rights as a last-ditch strategy to transform state policies toward minority faiths. While the Court has a mandate to protect religious freedom and equality, the conservative and sometimes biased way in which it has interpre...
This article seeks to unpack UK equality politics in the educational sphere and explore how it relates to four ideologies of religious governance: secularism, multiculturalism, interculturalism and intersectionalism. More specifically it examines how these ideologies support principles of reproduction, understood as knowledge transmission, and reco...
After a long period of decline in the Global North, migrant worker policies are making a comeback on the agenda of the European Union and several of its member states. Inspired by Iris Marion Young and Nancy Fraser’s accounts of structural injustice, this article argues that such policies cannot be reconciled with the principle of equality between...
This article assesses whether multiculturalism, interculturalism and cosmopolitanism find themselves in tension or, rather, coexist in UK politics. This is done through the analysis of recent policy and civil society documents, complemented with semi-structured interviews with race equality organizations. Results suggest a complementary relationshi...
Growing empirical evidence demonstrates that intergroup contact has the potential to reap effects that go beyond prejudice reduction. Much of this evidence, however, is based on findings from cross-sectional surveys. Building on the relatively smaller body of longitudinal intergroup contact research, we conduct a three-time point survey amongst you...
Intergroup contact has long been established as a prejudice‐reduction tool in divided societies, with contact being particularly effective during adolescence. A large proportion of evidence, however, draws on cross‐sectional surveys or analytical approaches that do not distinguish between‐ and within‐person effects. In the present research, we addr...
Multiculturalism (MC) and interculturalism (IC) as approaches to governing ethnic diversity have developed an often antagonistic relationship, borne out through scholarly as well as political debates. Yet, increasingly, scholars have begun to note that while IC-consistent policies have gained some prominence, they have done so alongside MC policies...
Understanding how to promote better social relations between groups in divided societies is vital for peacebuilding efforts. Building on the substantial body of research on intergroup contact theory and everyday multiculturalism, the present research aimed to examine how youth in the divided society of Belfast, Northern Ireland, experience social i...
Drawing on European and comparative jurisprudence and reports, this book review synthesises minimal legal standards and discretionary policies aiming to mitigate vulnerability and promote integration among asylum seekers, refugees and beneficiaries of international protection. It also highlights some of the gaps and inconsistencies that remain to b...
This report, produced as part of ETHOS WP4.3, examines UK opinion leaders’ understandings of justice and fairness in the commemoration of British history. The specific context is the city of Oxford, whose history and heritage has recently come under criticism for its role in British imperialism and its contemporary complicity (at a minimum) in the...
In the United Kingdom, workers and employers are increasingly being encouraged to use alternative dispute resolution (ADR) mechanisms rather than Employment Tribunals (ETs) to resolve conflicts. Like adjudication, ADR involves the intervention of an independent third party in the dispute, but its aim is to help them reach a settlement rather than t...
In the volatile context created by Islamist attacks, counter-terrorism policies and anti-Islam populism, the education of Muslims has gained increasing prominence in UK political discourses. This report examines how different stakeholders (Muslim and non-Muslim civil society organisations, activists, school representatives or administrators, state...
This working paper aims to inform an ETHOS report on the relationship between institutionalised political justice and experienced recognition among minorities in Europe. Focusing on the Roma in the UK, it explores the relation between institutional and individual processes of ethnic identification, discursive construction and political representati...
This report examines the relationship between political representation and experiences of (mis)recognition by reflecting on the results of six national case studies on the Roma. It inscribes itself within the ETHOS strand of research on justice as lived experience and builds on previous project deliverables on different conceptualisations of justic...
This report examines how the 2008 financial crisis and the agenda of austerity and Brexit have affected young mothers, migrant domestic workers and other precarious workers in the United Kingdom, and how political actors have mobilised for economic justice in this context. In addition to identifying explicit legal restrictions that have excluded wo...
This report critically exami nes the discursive construction of justice as political representation in the United Kingdom, taking as a starting point two recent and highly mediatised events. The first is the 2017 general elections, called by the Conservative Party in an ultimately unsuccessful attempt to consolidate its authority ahead of Brexit ne...

On both sides of the Atlantic, the dissemination of non-Western artistic traditions among the general public has been hampered by the prevalence of Eurocentric aesthetic standards in cultural institutions and organizations. In recent years, however, some states have taken steps in order to increase the exposure of immigrant-origin artists in a vari...

Sin embargo, los estudios sociológicos muestran que estas me...
Pese al asentamiento de un número significativo y creciente de migrantes inter a n cio nales en los municipios rurales de los países de rentas altas, existen pocos estudios sobre las políticas de sus autoridades locales en materia de diversidad cultural. Este trabajo pretende abrir el camino examinando algunos motivos teóricos y em pí...
