Maarja Vollmer — Wed, 27 May 2026 05:40:24 +0000

Migration and crisis are increasingly seen as interconnected, but their relationship is neither fixed nor self-explanatory. Migration may emerge as a response to crisis, a consequence of instability, or become framed as a crisis itself within receiving societies. Crises do not speak for themselves – they become politically and socially

Istikhar Ali — Tue, 05 May 2026 12:39:42 +0000

Finding a place to live in Delhi is not just about budget or location. For many Muslim residents, it involves navigating refusals from landlords, exclusion by housing societies, and coded language that signals who is—and is not—welcome.

When Equal Rights Do Not Lead to Equal Treatment of Mobile EU Workers

Valon Hasanaj — Wed, 22 Apr 2026 09:29:16 +0000

Freedom of movement is a cornerstone of European integration.

Lorenzo Piccoli — Wed, 15 Apr 2026 06:51:14 +0000

Marco Bitschnau — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 08:17:07 +0000

Man könnte meinen, dass die meisten Menschen falsche Vorstellungen über Einwanderung haben. Doch vieles davon beruht eher auf unsicheren Schätzungen als auf fest verankerten Überzeugungen. Neue Umfragedaten aus der Schweiz zeigen, dass diese Unterscheidung wichtige Konsequenzen für unser Verständnis der öffentlichen Meinung und für die Qualität demokratischer Debatten hat. In

Croyances erronées ou simples approximations ? Comprendre les perceptions du public sur l’immigration

Marco Bitschnau — Wed, 08 Apr 2026 07:53:30 +0000

On pourrait penser que la plupart des personnes entretiennent des perceptions erronées sur l’immigration. Pourtant, nombre de ces croyances erronées relèvent davantage d’estimations hasardeuses que de convictions solidement ancrées. De nouvelles données issues d’une enquête menée en Suisse montrent que cette distinction a des implications importantes pour la compréhension de

Marco Bitschnau — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 13:48:28 +0000

You might think that most people have misperceptions about immigration. Yet many false beliefs are merely low-confidence guesses, rather than firmly held views. New Swiss survey evidence shows that this distinction has important implications for understanding public opinion and for the quality of democratic debate. Public debate is quick to
