Understanding Diversity in Rhodes: Traditional and New Others

Purpose of this Research Project is to examine the contours of diversity in the island of Rhodes. The inter-cultural society of Rhodes with the long co-existence of Christian and Muslim communities, along with the recent wave of Muslim refugees and immigrants provide a unique setting for analysing and deconstructing diversities, with a view to develop integration policies.

This research project is supported by the European Economic Area through the Financial Mechanism 2009-2014 and the Program "Academic Research in the Priority Sectors/GR07". It is also co-funded by Greece under the supervision of the General Secretariat of Research and Technology of the Ministry of Education, Research and Religious Affairs.

UnDRho research project is delivered by the Department of Preliminary Education of the University of the Aegean, under the supervision of the Associate Professor Dr Panagiotis Kimourtzis.
