Academic career

Adrian Favell was formerly Professor of Sociology at Sciences Po. Before that he was the Director of the Centre for Regional and Global Ethnographies and Professor of European and International Studies at Aarhus University and Professor of Sociology at UCLA.

His research in migration studies has contributed to debates on citizenship, multiculturalism and integration, intra-EU migration, and high skilled migration. He is best known as the leading critic of the immigrant integration paradigm as a colonial feature of advanced liberal democracies. ^[3] He argues for the necessity of sophisticated comparative approaches, which recognise the asymmetry between nation-state contexts of immigration, particularly in comparisons between Britain and France, or European nations and the US and Canada. His work on intra-EU "Eurostars", which uses ethnography as a method, is widely noted as having pioneered study on the everyday consequences of European integration, particularly on younger generations of highly mobile European citizens. ^[4]

His book, Before and After Superflat, is the first academic history in English of contemporary art in Japan since 1990. ^[5] In Japan, the book became notorious after the artist Yoshitomo Nara angrily challenged online some of its discussion of his mode of organisation and commercial success ^[6] and. ^[7]
