Centre for Research on Nationalism, Ethnicity and Multiculturalism
CRONEM is a multidisciplinary research centre in the field of nationalism, ethnicity and multiculturalism. It brings together those who are engaged in issues which lie at the nexus between nation, ethnicity, multiculturalism, citizenship and migration. Reflection on these issues through arts and humanities disciplines provides a distinctive focus for this Centre.
CRONEM focuses on crucial developments within contemporary society by drawing on the expertise of those working in internationally renowned academic units across the areas of Anthropology, Dance, Economics, Education, European Studies, Policy Studies, Politics, Psychology and Sociology. It also benefits from the expertise of an Advisory Board composed of renowned figures from the fields of academia, government and user groups.

Welcome to new CRONEM Director
Prof. Alex Warleigh-Lack joins the School of Politics as Executive Director of CRONEM and head of the EU politics research group.
He is a leading international scholar in the fields of EU politics and comparative regional integration. Alex was chair of the University Association for Contemporary European Studies, the world’s largest EU studies association, between 2006-09 and has a long standing association with United Nations University Centre on Comparative Regional Integration studies (UNU-CRIS), in Bruges. Alex was previously Professor of Politics and International Relations at Brunel University, having taught at the universities of Reading, Queen’s Belfast and Limerick. He was elected to the UK Academy of Social Science in 2007. Alex’s main role in the School will be to develop research in EU politics, one of the School’s core areas of expertise, while re-establishing CRONEM with a clearer European focus.

Farewell to CRONEM Directors
At the end of the summer 2011, John Eade (Executive Director of CRONEM) and Chris Flood (one of the Academic Directors of CRONEM) retired. The great success of CRONEM over the years has depended crucially on the energy, enthusiasm, dedication and extremely hard work of both John and Chris. Their activities as Directors of the Centre will be greatly missed. We wish both of them every happiness and success in the new activities which they are now undertaking (academics never really retire!), and we look forward to our continuing association with them both.
