Nationalism and Multiculturalism: Reflections from a (post) Covid world

Nationalism and Multiculturalism: Reflections from a (post) Covid world

A recording of this event is available for members.

Anna Triandafyllidou (Ryerson University), Christian Joppke (University of Bern) and Jonathan Hearn (University of Edinburgh) discuss the intersection between nationalism and multiculturalism in a world defined by the Covid-19 pandemic, chaired by Daphne Halikiopoulou (University of Reading).

Is multiculturalism another form of nationalism, i.e., another form of national self-affirmation and determination within existing states? Is multiculturalism retreating in Western societies as a result of the rise of national populism? How does Covid-19 affect membership and bordering practices within nation-states?
