David Abraham, University of Miami School of Law, Law
BA and PhD in History, University of Chicago; JD University of Pennsylvania. Over the years I have been interested in historical political economy, particularly in the rise of social democracy and the fragility of capitalist democracy. This led me to study the Weimar Republic and Nazism and other instances of democratic breakdown. I have also been interested in the welfare state and social rights and am currently working on Citizenship in an Era of Neo Liberalism. Most of my interest are comparative and involve the US, Germany, and Israel.

Maurizio Albahari, University of Notre Dame, Anthropology
I am an Assistant Professor at Notre Dame, where I teach on comparative immigration and European cultures and societies. I held a doctoral fellowship at the Center for Comparative Immigration Studies, UC San Diego, and received my Ph.D. at UC Irvine (2006). My first book manuscript examines immigration in Italy from both a political-legal and cultural angle, with particular attention to the material and symbolic implications of border enforcement and migrants' death and detention in the broader Mediterranean context. Related articles have been published in the ISIM Review, reflecting my overarching interest in European Islam, and in the International Journal of Euro-Mediterranean Studies. The issue of Italian Culture I guest-edited [28 (2010) 2] is dedicated to Italy as a node in the network of migrants' routes, but also as a country of south-north domestic migration, entrenched discrimination, and flourishing cosmopolitan creativity. My current research focuses on issues of integration in Italy and in Southeast Europe, with an emphasis on religion/secularism in the public sphere, organized crime, and political mobilization.

Janna Bray, University of Michigan, Political Science
Janna Bray is a PhD candidate in the University of Michigan's Department of Political Science.  Her research analyzes the relationship between Muslim immigrants and left political parties in Western Europe.  Janna's dissertation examines why center-left parties endorse policies that concern the religious practice of Islam in some locations and not in others.  She focuses on the local level and compares political behavior in different municipal governments in Germany, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands.  To do this, Janna uses city council records to build an original data set of party behavior on policies that concern Islam. This data set also contains information on factors that may affect party behavior, such as demographics, economics, political institutions, electoral threat from the far-right,and competition among left parties.

Brian Edward Karlsson, George Washington University, Political Science
I am generally interested in why political discourse over immigration and integration takes on different characteristics across Europe and why immigration restrictionism is a relatively mainstream issue in some countries and among certain parties of the right but not others. My dissertation seeks to answer this question by exploring how domestic debates over the Nazi past have impacted immigration and integration discourse in the German-speaking countries of Europe. I am particularly interested in demonstrating how the norms created in the debates over the past and the various memory frames adopted by mainstream political actors have spill-over effects into other political issues that narrow the discursive space for restrictionist immigration policies and privilege certain immigration actors and policy positions over others.

Christopher Wendt, Lewis & Clark College, Political Science
My broader research agenda focuses on the political and social dynamics of "natives" and "immigrants" in advanced industrial democracies. My current research explains spatial and temporal variation in support for "Nativist" parties in Western Europe from 1973 to 2005. A future research project seeks to explain variation in the nature of "immigrant" political mobilization in advanced industrial democracies, in particular the factors influencing the decision to engage in party formation, interest group formation, explicit party-group alliances or expressions of political violence (riots; terrorism).
