F. Javier García Castaño. Professor of Social Anthropology in the Department of Social Anthropology and director of the Migration Institute of the University of Granada. His research has focused on the processes of construction of difference as forms of diversity management (especially in migratory contexts). In recent times he has extended this line of study to migration cinema and has developed it thanks to a research project granted by the Ministry of Education of the Government of Spain to develop a stay at Harvard University (July-September 2022). This line of research is also part of the project Agenciamientos políticos, interculturalismos y (anti)racismos en Andalucía (APIARA) with reference B-SEJ-440-UGR20 and funded within the call for R+D+i projects under the FEDER Operational Program of the Junta de Andalucía.
