Podcast

The Integration Conversation podcast – Beyond ‘Whiteshift’

This is the first of our podcast series – The Integration Conversation – to discuss the latest developments in the field. Our first one features Trevor Phillips and Eric Kaufmann, discussing the issue of the decline of white majorities raised in Kaufmann’s book ‘Whiteshift’, alongside issues of knife crime, white flight, European refugee integration, Muslim integration, and the separatist message of the film ‘Black Panther’.

Our newsletter intends to keep you up to date with the work we, and our contributors, are doing to engage with discussions on ethnic integration.
