The paper is the first step of a research project regarding the evolution of cultural and linguistic diversity in the European Union and the Italian policy system. The European Union is responsible for adopting rules regarding the integration of immigrants. The goal of the project is to build a narrative of the evolution of the European Union and the Italian policy systems with respect to assimilation vs. multiculturalism trends in language policy.
The New Research on Europe Seminar serves as a weekly forum in which CES Visiting Scholars present their work. Scholars present their work in a form accessible to scholars working in fields other than their own. Papers may be circulated in advance, although this is not required.
The seminar encourages discussions across disciplinary as well as national boundaries. After each presentation, there is ample time for critique and discussion, followed by the CES Friday Lunch. This seminar is open to the public.
