My research focuses on local communities, migration, inter-ethnic ties, ethnic penalties, social cohesion, trust and multiculturalism. In particular, I am interested in how local communities respond to different challenges and the practical ways adopted by individuals and institutions to solve common problems.
There are three distinctive research strands I am currently working on and more information on each of them can be found below.
Migration, Diversity & Local Communities
Local Area Effects, Community Cohesion and Social Disorganization
