Organisé par Roxana Barbulescu (Collège d'Europe), Laurie Beaudonnet (Université de Montréal), Allison Harell (Université du Québec À Montréal) dans le cadre du « Mapping Anti-Roma Prejudice in the EU 28 »(MARP) avec la collaboration du Centre d'étude sur la citoyenneté démocratique (CÉCD) et du Centre d'excellence sur l'Union européenne (CEUE)

The workshop aims to analyze prejudice towards Roma in connection with prejudice towards indigenous, ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities in the European and Canadian context. In particular, we are interested in the similarities and differences between these sets of prejudice and their consequences in the lives of the minorities. Public opinion, public policy and academic research have tended to conceptualize questions pertaining to the Roma community disjointly from the wider and more general questions that concern minorities. In public and political debates, there has been a tendency to focus on Roma as a group distinct from other minority groups.

This workshop seeks to contribute to a better understanding of the ‘Roma question’ and to bridge the two areas that have thus far been surprisingly isolated from each other. The workshop aims at bringing together papers looking at the topic from different angles, from the viewpoint of different theories and different methodologies
