Biography

Khalid Khayati is an Associate Professor at Linköping University specializing in political theory and international politics with a focus on migration and diaspora studies. His research examines the impact of enforced and voluntary migration on political circumstances, particularly in the context of Middle Eastern and North African states. Khayati teaches political theory at both undergraduate and master's levels, emphasizing influential thinkers from the ancient world to modern times. He explores fundamental concepts of state, society, and justice, and investigates how these ideas shape normative political models. His work includes analyzing diasporic communities' roles in transnational relations and the socio-political movements they generate. Additionally, his research addresses the themes of citizenship, inclusion, and the conditions that lead to democratic movements within the region. Through empirical studies involving Kurdish communities in Sweden and France, he seeks to elucidate the dynamics of border policies and governance in the context of a rapidly changing global landscape influenced by conflict and migration.
