I am currently developing two new research projects. The first compares the institutional accommodation of Muslim immigrants in Canada and Germany. I am particularly interested in how public schools, courts, and other core institutions respond to requests for accommodation by Muslims and other religious minorities.The second project, being undertaken in collaboration with Christopher Cochrane, Inder Marwah, Zack Taylor, and Steven White (and with the assistance of UTSC alumnus Salman Dostmohammed), explains the causes and results of the Conservative Party of Canada’s “ethnic outreach” strategy. We intend to extend our analysis to consider the strategies of other centre-right parties vis-à-vis immigrant and ethnic minority voters.
