Three Co-Directors Lead ET21 Programs

Three  program Co-Directors – Ariane Chebel d’Appollonia, Leslie Kennedy, and Kurt Schock, have been chosen to direct programs in their fields of expertise.

Ariane Chebel d’Appollonia is Director of the Program on (Im)migration and Integration. She was formerly co-director of the ISI Immigration Research Network. She specializes in the politics of immigration and anti-discrimination in the United States and Europe, racism and xenophobia, extreme-right wing movements, immigrant integration, and urban racism. In addition to writing three books (including one on the Far Right in France, and another on Everyday Racism) and five edited volumes, Ariane Chebel d’Appollonia recently co-edited a book with Simon Reich entitled Immigration, Integration and Security: America and Europe in Comparative Perspective (University of Pittsburgh Press, 2008).

Leslie W. Kennedy is Director of the Program on Global Security. He served as Dean of the Rutgers School of Criminal Justice from 1998 to 2007. He is also a member of the Core Faculty in the Division of Global Affairs. Dr. Kennedy has published extensively in the areas of fear of crime, victimology, and violence. He is the co-author with Vince Sacco of The Criminal Event, appearing in its 4th edition this year. In this book he advocates a holistic approach to the study of crime in social context. He has just completed (with Van Brunschot) a new book, The Risk in Crime (to be published in Fall, 2009 by Rowman and Littlefield) , that explores the use of risk in criminological theory and research.

Kurt Schock is Director of the Program on Nonviolent Resistance. He is currently researching land reform and land rights movements in the global south. He is examining how civil resistance is being used to prevent land alienation and promote a more equitable distribution of land and resources.  More broadly his research seeks to understand how methods of nonviolent action and ‘people power’ movements are able to successfully challenge state domination and economic exploitation.
