I am the founding Director of the Bristol University Research Centre for the Study of Ethnicity and Citizenship. I have held over 40 grants and consultancies (UK, European and US), have over 35 (co-)authored and (co-)edited books and reports and over 250 articles or chapters in political philosophy, sociology and public policy. I was a Robert Schuman Fellow at the European University Institute for part of 2013-15, a ‘Thinker in Residence’ at the Royal Academy of Flanders, Brussels in 2017 and currently am a Visiting Fellow, Cumberland Lodge, Windsor (2017-2020).
I am the co-founding editor of the international journal, Ethnicities. My publications include Multicultural Politics: Racism, Ethnicity and Muslims in Britain (2005), Multiculturalism: A Civic Idea (2007/2013), Still Not Easy Being British: Struggles for a Multicultural Citizenship (2010) and Essays on Secularism and Multiculturalism (2019); and as co-editor, Multiculturalism, Muslims and Citizenship: A European Approach (2006), Secularism, Religion and Multicultural Citizenship (2009), Global Migration, Ethnicity and Britishness (2011), European Multiculturalisms (2012), Tolerance, Intolerance and Respect (2013), Religion in a Liberal State (2013), Multiculturalism Rethought (2015), Multiculturalism and Interculturalism: Debating the Dividing Lines (Feb, 2016), The Problem of Religious Diversity (2017); and as Special Issues co-editor, with T. Sealy, Beyond Euro-Americancentric Forms of Racism and Anti-racism (Political Quarterly, 2022) and Global comparative analysis of the governance of religious diversity (Religion, State and Society, 2022). I was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts in 1992, was awarded a MBE for services to social sciences and ethnic relations in 2001, made a member of the Academy of Social Sciences (UK) in 2004 and was elected a Fellow of the British Academy in 2017. I am highly committed to public engagement and am a regular contributor to media and policy debates. My work is frequently cited by policy-makers and practioners and on several occasions has influenced policy. I have been Adviser to the Muslim Council of Britain and have served on the DfES Race, Education and Employment Forum; the Commission on the Future of Multi-Ethnic Britain (1997-2000); the IPPR Commission on National Security (2007-09); the National Equality Panel (2007-10); and the Commission on Religion and Belief in British Public Life (2013-16). My impact case study, ‘Influencing law, policy and public discourse on the accommodation of Muslims in Britain’ was one of three which collectively were ranked as 3rd in the UK by the Sociology 2014 REF. The importance of public intellectual engagement is expressed in this biographical interview. My work is part of syllabi for AS and A Level Sociology (OCR and possibly other Boards) and for A Level Politics. |
