Language: English

Many contemporary multicultural societies are experiencing contradictory trends of increasing diversity and blatant xenophobic definitions of who is part of the ‘nation’, or who belongs in the community. Sociologists studying the public in its various iterations have a great interest in shedding light into these contradictory trends at the age untethered globalizations and concurrent nationalism and xenophobia. This panel brings together scholars studying various publics (refugee and immigrants in the public education, immigrant integration and transnational and diasporic communities, excluded minorities) to shed light on question around inclusion and exclusion, structural barriers and individual and community agency against these nationalist trends.
