RESEARCHPeople belong to many different types of groups. However, the importance of these diverse groups in defining personal identity varies. Dr. Karen Kisiel Dion is particularly interested in understanding what factors contribute to the personal importance of cultural/ethnic identity (or identities). She is a co-author (J.G. Reitz, R. Breton, K.Kisiel Dion and K.L. Dion) of a recent book, Multiculturalism and Social Cohesion, published by Springer in 2009 in which she and graduate student Mai Phan examined this issue using Canadian survey data (the Ethnic Diversity Survey). Another current research interest is the relation between group identities and personal relationships among individuals from different social groups. |
