Abstract

This panel brings together four papers that examine the challenges of diverse societies. The paper “But aren’t you Migrants as well?!” addresses the question to what extent social identification of immigrants in Germany with their country of origin and country of settlement affects their attitudes towards refugees, other immigrants and the majority population. Also focusing on the German context, the paper “Living in Modern Times” examines to what extent perceived social change affects the strength and understanding of national identification, and links this to regional differences between East and West Germans, who witnessed various degrees of social change. The paper “Giving Voice to Those Who Are Not Heard” explores the effects of the neighborhood on social and political trust, national identification and collective efficacy. Finally, the paper “Personal, Social or Moral Norms” examines how social norms affect the acceptance of Muslim religious practices in Germany.
