My current research focuses on social and political order and change, particularly on post-communist societies of Europe, as well as on intergroup relations. Most recently, I have investigated the relationship between various micro-level (e.g., various instances of nationalist sentiment) and macro-level (societal) factors and public opinion on immigrants and immigration policies in Central and Eastern European countries. I am actively involved in research projects with Prof. James R. Kluegel ( Univ. of Illinois), Xavier Escandell ( Grinnell College) and Michael Sobczak ( Univ. of Illinois). A second research path focuses on collective action and the life course of temporary gatherings (rallies, marches, etc.), and continue collaboration with Prof. Emeritus Clark McPhail ( Univ. of Illinois) and David Schweingruber (Iowa State Univ.).
