His areas of research are: (1) Immigration, integration, and xenophobia (with special interest in Islamophobia in Europe and the rise of the radical populist right); (2) the socio-economic and political development of China; and (3) political and religious fundamentalisms.
At the University of Oviedo he teaches Sociology and Social Research Methods and Techniques. In the Master’s in Chinese Studies, at the University of the Basque Country, he teaches the module “Development of Business Strategies in China”.
