Rafaela Dancygier is the IBM Professor of International Studies at Princeton University and serves as the Director of the Mamdouha S. Bobst Center for Peace and Justice. She received her Ph.D. in Political Science with distinction from Yale University in 2007. Dancygier specializes in comparative politics, with a focus on the implications of ethnic diversity in advanced democracies. Her research examines the domestic consequences of international immigration, including political incorporation and electoral representation of immigrant-origin minorities, determinants of ethnic conflict, and contemporary electoral realignments in European democracies. Her notable books include 'Immigration Conflict in Europe' (Cambridge University Press, 2010), which discusses how local political economies shape immigration destinations, and 'Dilemmas of Inclusion: Muslims in European Politics' (Princeton University Press, 2017), which explores the political incorporation of minority groups and its consequences on electoral politics and party dynamics. Dancygier's work has been published in leading political science journals and has garnered several awards, including the Book Award from the European Politics Society Section of the American Political Science Association (APSA) for 'Immigration Conflict' and the 2018 Stein Rokkan Prize for 'Dilemmas of Inclusion.'
