Talk at HSE

Finally, after some months, the invited talk, hosted by Christian Fröhlich, that I gave at the Laboratory for Comparative Social Research at the Higher School of Economics (Moscow) has reached the surface. In this talked, I discussed the consequences of immigration for the welfare state. More specifically, I combined two papers in the presentation, namely first of all the question whether national identity is able to foster support for the welfare state, and secondly about the relevance of identity as deservingness criterion. After my presentation, we had a great discussion, followed by a lovely dinner at one of the Khachapuri restaurants, known for its delicious Georgian cuisine. The talk was filmed by Dmitry Zakotyansky (see picture below the clip) – thanks for that!
