Research: 

Dr. Triandafyllidou is the Canada Excellence Research Chair in Migration and Integration (CERC). Through the CERC research program, she leads as many as 30 different research projects on migration with a special focus on the role of migrant agency, the interaction between different drivers of migration and the global governance of migration and asylum (including irregular migration). With regard to migrant integration, she has a special interest in issues of identity, diversity, nationalism and multicultural citizenship approaches. She is also looking into the governance of cultural and religious diversity in different world regions (Europe, Asia, the MENA region). Last but not least she is considering migration and migrant integration in relation to the wider processes of socio-economic and geopolitical transformation that characterise the 21st century.
