Notes

[1] This interview is part of a doctoral research project, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Education (AP2006-04395) as part of the National Programme for Human Resources for Research. The main project is aimed at constructing an intellectual history of social scientific and philosophical investigations on cultural diversity – taking into account the intellectual trajectories of four influential scholars in the field (T. Modood, S. Vertovec, G. Baumann and W. Kymlicka), whereas the dissertation focuses on a comparative study of the processes of importation and reception of W. Kymlicka's and G. Baumann's theories in the Spanish field. Materials from the broader project, including those gathered in this and other interviews, will be the basis for further long-term research.
