On Wednesday, September 28th, EUCE was pleased to present a lecture by Visiting Scholar Dr. Jennifer Fredette (University of Albany) on the subject “What Can Muslims in France Tell Us About Multiculturalism in the European Union?” as part of the series EUROPEAS: EUCE Seminars in History, Culture and Society.  For those unable to attend this lecture, EUCE makes this available here as a streaming audio file.

Jennifer Fredette teaches courses in constitutional law, comparative law, and sociolegal studies at University of Albany (SUNY). Her research addresses law and society themes such as law and identity, legal consciousness, and legal mobilization, as well as political theory’s concerns with justice and democracy. Fredette studied at Sciences Po-Paris in 2006, and was a visiting research fellow at Sciences Po-Bordeaux in 2008.  Her current project, On the Muslim Question: The contentious politics of citizenship in France, explores the disconnect between how Muslims and French elites discuss citizenship, identity, and belonging.

All are welcome to this event and light refreshments will be served.
