Research Interests

Dr. Larin is an Endeavour Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the School of Social and Political Sciences, specializing in the study of nationalism, human migration, and related issues. He recently completed his PhD in Political Studies at Queen's University, Canada, under the supervision of John McGarry and Margaret Moore. His thesis, titled "Challenging the Civic Nation", is a critical examination of civic nationalism that focuses on the disconnect between nationalist ideology and the social bases of nationhood, and the implications that this disconnect has for the viability of civic nationalism as a means of addressing policy issues such as intrastate nationalist conflict and immigrant integration. His postdoctoral project, supervised by Stephen Castles, builds on the thesis by examining the relationship between civic nationalism and immigrant integration through a comparison of Australia and Canada.
