Tobias Stark
Tobias Stark is an Assistant Professor (tenured) at the European Research Centre on Migration and Ethnic Relations (ERCOMER). His research interests are in the field of ethnic prejudice and interethnic relations. In particular, Tobias studies the link between prejudice and social networks. Though many of his projects are on “basic science,” he is driven by the potential societal impact of his research. That’s why a large part of his attention is directed at using his insights to develop intervention programs for (primary) schools that are designed to improve interethnic relations. At the moment, Tobias cooperates with practitioners of the programs Discussieren Kun Je Leren, Welkom in Mijn Wijk, and One Globe Kids. Additionally, Tobias is interested in methodological research. Together with Jon Krosnick, he has developed a new graphical interface (GENSI) to collect data on ego-centered social networks in online surveys.
