Principal Investigator

Dr. Julia Mourão Permoser

My research agenda focuses on the challenges and opportunities to democracy that arise in the context of migration, religious pluralism, and societal polarization over values. Within this broader context, my research analyzes the interplay between values, ideas and interests in politics and their impact on policy-making. I am particularly interested in ethically motivated political action, civil society activism, solidarity movements with migrants, and transnational advocacy networks.
