Research Interests: Professor Korteweg’s current research focuses on Muslim immigrants in the Netherlands, Germany, and Canada, asking how national identity is defined in debates on immigrant integration. She pays special attention to the ways in which gender has become the contested terrain upon which national identity is inscribed. She has analysed public debates of the murder of Theo van Gogh, of honour killing in the Netherlands and Germany, and sharia-based arbitration in Ontario. Her current research project, with Dr. Phil Triadafilopoulos, focuses on parliamentary debates on immigrant integration in the Netherlands and Germany. |
