Farahat, Anuscheh

"My research focuses primarily on inequality conflicts and issues of participation and belonging. It is therefore about who belongs to society in the first place and how we distribute rights and prosperity. These issues are fundamental to social coexistence in a liberal and social democracy. This is particularly evident in the example of migration. This topic is very present in public debate. How we legally control and shape migration and what role human rights, co-determination, and the rule of law play in this is a central question of my research."
