Research
Nasar’s research is interdisciplinary and spans a number of topics that orbit around the study of citizenship. These include arenas of political participation, education policies, approaches to anti-discrimination, migration and asylum, public and media representation, and the ways in which collective membership is conceived and operationalized. Secondly, he is engaged in a reading of the African-American scholar W. E. B. Du Bois, and the relationship between his concept of 'double consciousness' and notions of identity and misrecognition. Thirdly, and running through each concern, is a focus on both contemporary and historical racialization, and the evidence of shared racial logics working across different racial projects. Some illustration of how these interests have been taken up are found in the research highlighted below.
