SRP (Groeiers): Gendering ethnicity & ethnicizing gender in politics & policy Vrije Universiteit Brussel

Karen Celis
Philosophy - Moral Sciences, Metajuridica, Institute for European Studies, Political Science, Centre of Expertise on Gender, Diversity and Intersectionality
Gender and race/ethnicity are too often conceived of as operating in isolation from each other; this means ignoring the fact that members of ethnic minorities always have a gender and, vice versa, that men and women always have an ethnic background (i.e. they are considered as 'native' or as 'other' thanks to a history of migration). In general, politics and policies depart from an assumption that the subject of policy is 'male'. If the subject ...

Because I am Greek: Polyonymy and the Expression of Ethnicity in Ptolemaic Egypt KU Leuven

Mark Depauw
Ancient History, Leuven
The use of double names in Graeco-Roman society has fascinated many researchers and is mentioned in numerous studies. Despite the abundance of references, however, no comprehensive and up-to-date investigation of the phenomenon exists. Whereas earlier works had a merely classifying approach, more recent studies are usually confined to case-studies combined with some sociological remarks. To fill in this gap, my colleague Yanne Broux and I have ...

Perceptions of the Self and the Other in contemporary Burundi. The salience of ethnicity in everyday interactions in a post-transition context. University of Antwerp

Bert Ingelaere
Development processes, actors and policies
Since independence (1962), the 'ethnic' conflict between Hutu and Tutsi in Burundi led to thousands of deaths on both sides. In 2000, the signature of the Arusha peace agreement inaugurated a transition period towards peace and democracy. Thanks to the agreement, political competition was de-ethnicized, and political parties no longer represented a single ethnic group. At the local level, people could progressively return to their occupations. ...

Ethnicity after mass violence. A study of the nature and transformation of ethnic 'groupness' in Rwanda and Burundi. University of Antwerp

Bert Ingelaere
Development processes, actors and policies
Despite the slogan 'never again', the world continues to be plagued by violence that is group-selective and aimed at the extermination of people belonging to certain social categories. This type of mass categorical violence often has an ethnic dimension involving members of majority and minority groups . Popular wisdom seems to be that ethnicity – or the emotional sense of belonging to a specific group and distinction from or even antipathy to ...

This research aims to increase our understanding of how Muslim ethnic-cultural minorities share knowledge, values ...

A Historical-Critical Reading of Ethnicity in the Gospel of John and Its Postcolonial Repercussions on the Philippine Migration Crisis KU Leuven

Reimund Bieringer
Research Unit of Biblical Studies

This project seeks to understand who the ᾽Ιουδαῖοι are and how they relate and negotiate their ethnic borders with the Ἕλληνες, Σαμαρῖται, ῾Ρωμαῖοι, and Γαλιλαῖοι as found in the Gospel of John. Applying a historical-critical approach on selected Johannine texts, it attempts to explain the dynamics of self-designation and border-crossing vis-à-vis some related literature (both biblical and extra-biblical) and studies of ethnic groups in the ...

Intersections and identifications in media use: ethnicity, sexuality and generations. University of Antwerp

Alexander Dhoest
Media, policy and culture
This project aims to investigate the intersection of different sources of identification: nationality, ethnicity and sexual orientation. Theoretically, it aims to explore and develop parallels in thinking on these three fields, focusing in particular on the uneasy relation between ethnic and sexual 'minority' status in a particular national context. Empirically, it aims to do this through in-depth qualitative research on the media uses and ...
