 Research project or operation 

The person recruited will develop a personal research project in line with the issues developed by the France-Quebec research chair on contemporary issues of freedom of expression (Colibex).

More specifically, the candidate's work will be part of Axis 2 of the Chair (Religious Beliefs and Identities), coordinated in France by Hanane Karimi (University of Strasbourg, LinCS).

The research project will analyze the boundaries and limits of freedom of religious expression or identity when it comes into conflict with the dominant norms of the affiliation group or society, whether in terms of religious beliefs, gender, race or sexual orientation.

For example, it could focus on :

* freedom of religion, by examining the conditions of its effectiveness

 freedom of expression for religious groups or religious, racial, linguistic or sexual minorities conservative or liberal mobilizations, whether political or community-based, of which these groups are the object

* the effects of public or partisan policies and legislation on minority groups.

* Struggles for recognition of the rights of religious or identity-based minorities

The research may cover any geographical area, without restriction to France and Quebec. It must be in the humanities and social sciences.

 These ideas serve as a basis for the research project proposal, without being exhaustives.
