BIO
Cecilia Eseverri Mayer (Madrid, 1979) is a postdoctoral researcher at Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She has carried out studies on urban conflict and youth immigration in Paris, London and Madrid. She concludes that civil Muslim society has a crucial role to play in the creation of new forms of belonging, which are key in avoiding the current sense of emptiness among young European Muslims that seriously affects their integration and exposes them to the dangers associated with violence and radicalism.
PROJECT
With this project, Eseverri aims to discover the influence of civil and political Muslim organizations in the three European capitals chosen and to examine in more depth the characteristics of the different ideological currents of political Islam (progressive, legalistic, neo-Salafi and radical). The goal is to find mechanisms that can help manage diversity in Europe and make progress in the prevention of radicalism, without generating greater division or Isalmophobia.
