Forging new national identities in former Yugoslavia

Nell’ambito della conferenza “[Ripensare gli incontri](https://www.eurac.edu/it/institutes-centers/center-for-advanced-studies/news-events/ripensare-gli-incontri)” Elisa Piras, Senior Researcher del Center for Advanced Studies, ha delineato sfide e opportunità del multiculturalismo in un’ottica di sostenibilità sociale. In questa intervista la ricercatrice ci spiega cosa si cela dietro queste parole tanto usate, poco comprese e spesso strumentalizzate.

Il multiculturalismo è una risorsa per la sostenibilità sociale?

Religion represents one of the main elements that play a key role in not only the perception of minorities, but also in how it shapes politics and the feeling of belonging. This is exactly what Tariq Modood, professor at the University of Bristol, has addressed in his most recent publication, [Essays on Secularism and Multiculturalism](https://www.tariqmodood.com/uploads/1/2/3/9/12392325/discount_flyer.pdf), which he presented within the framework of the [Institute for Minority Rights’ Annual Minority Rights lecture](https://www.eurac.edu/en/institutes-centers/institute-for-minority-rights/news-events/annual-minority-rights-lecture-with-prof-tariq-modood). In this lecture, Professor Modood explores further these very issues, by explaining how there is the need to rethink political secularism, not only for social integration but also for raising questions about the role of the state and citizenship.
