Job description

My work analyzes trust as a factor that determines important aspects of integration such as equality of opportunity, chances for cooperation, and the social cohesion of multicultural groups and societies. I am especially interested in whether cultural integration is central for building trust between immigrants and native populations and what kind of obstacles might remain despite cultural integration and what possible alternatives for building trust are.

Besides my work on trust and the integration of immigrants, I am also working on indigenous rights, territorial rights, epistemic injustice, and processes of transitional justice (both in the context of past injustices and in the context of climate change). Here, I am currently preparing an introduction to territorial rights and write on epistemic injustice and climate adapation, especially in the Indigenous context.

I am the coordinator of the network Just Climate Transitions and member of the network
The Relation between Recognition Theory and Theories of Epistemic Injustice. You can find more about my research at kerstinreibold.wordpress.com
