Anuscheh Farahat, Professorship for Public Law in its European Context

Contact Anuscheh Farahat

"My research is primarily concerned with conflicts of inequality and questions of participation and belonging. In other words, it is 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 the public debate. How we legally control and organise migration and what role human rights, co-determination and the rule of law play in this is a central question of my research." (Anuscheh Farahat)
