Amanda Garrett

Garrett’s general research interests lie in pursuing an interdisciplinary analysis of the international political and economic dynamics affecting immigrant integration, primarily with respect to flows from the Middle East/North Africa to the United States and Western Europe. She has worked on a number of projects examining the presence of Islam in Western Europe, the influence of remittances on integration and immigrant inequality vis-a-vis comparative welfare states and varieties of capitalism. In summer, 2008, she carried out field work in Egypt and Morroco for her current research on the question of transnational networks and the radicalization of Islam in the West.
