Migration and Ethnoreligious Hate Crime in the Russian Federation: Risk Profiles 2000-2010
Funded by: National Science Foundation (Research Grant SES-0452557)
With: C. Richard Hofstetter, San Diego State University
This project models and tests the combined effects of migration and demographic trends on ethnoreligious violence and militant interethnic hostility in the Russian Federation in the early 2000s by using:
- aggregate statistics,
- event data,
- mass surveys,
- focus groups, and
- structured interviews
"The Number Game": Sources of Anti-Migrant Hostility (MacArthur Foundation)
Funded by: John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, Program on Global Security and Sustainability
With: Sergey Golunov, Volgograd State University
This project explores how and why perceptions of migration scale and trends become predominant in the public opinion within host societies. The project uses mass survey data in strategically selected Russian provinces to tease out these perceptions and their impacts on migration policy preferences
Inter-Minority Xenophobia (NCEEER)
Funded by: The National Council for Eurasian and East European Research (Title VIII Research Grant), 2006-2008
This project examines how differentiation among minorities:
- titular vs. non-titular,
- regional majority vs. minority,
- native vs. migrant,
- Muslim vs. non-Muslim
affect inter-minority relations and immigration views. It uses survey data from four provinces in Russia's Southern Federal District (North Caucasus and lower Volga).
