His main research interests include the sociology of European integration and the sociology of migration, borders, and symbolic boundaries.Jürgen Gerhards is Professor of Sociology at Freie Universität Berlin. He is a member of the Nationale Akademie der Wissenschaften and the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften. His main research interests include comparative cultural sociology, and the sociology of European Integration.

In this strikingly original comparative study, the authors analyze how countries as diverse as Chile, Germany, Poland, Singapore, Turkey, and Uganda embrace or reject refugees. They focus on how politicians fit refugees in their countries' story and national cultural repertoires, using frames pertaining to security, as well as legal, moral, cultural and other concerns. They adroitly marry the older political sociology tradition focused on social cleavages and the newer cultural sociology literature on symbolic boundaries to show how the often-used cosmopolitan vs communitarian dichotomy cannot account for patterns. Framing Refugees is a brilliant and refreshing contribution that will leave its mark on how social scientists think about crucial issues facing our societies.
