BRIEF BIO 

Dan Rodríguez-García is Serra Húnter Full Professor of Social and Cultural Anthropology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (UAB), Spain. He has held the positions of Department Academic Coordinator/Deputy Chair; Director of Postgraduate Studies (MA and PhD); Director of the Master in Anthropology: Advanced Research and Social Intervention; Director of the European Master in Social and Cultural Anthropology – CREOLE (a joint program involving 8 European universities); and Coordinator of the International Mobility Program. He has 26 years of experience teaching undergraduate and graduate courses, notably “Methodology and Epistemology in the Social Sciences,” “Migration and Intercultural Relations,” and “International Migration: Theories and Trends.” He has supervised numerous doctoral and MA theses and has sat on more than 100 Evaluation Committees.

He obtained his PhD (summa cum laude) in 2002 at UAB. Previously he had obtained a three-year Diploma in History (UAB, 1992); a BA in Social and Cultural Anthropology (UAB, 1994); an MSc in Demography (Centre for Demographic Studies, Barcelona, 1997); an MA in Basic and Applied Research in Social and Cultural Anthropology (UAB, 1997); and an MA in Culture, Race, and Difference (University of Sussex, UK, 1998, Batista i Roca Scholarship for Postgraduate Studies in Great Britain). He has held research fellowships at the University of Sussex, United Kingdom (1997-98), and at the University of Toronto, Canada (2004-05), and he has been a Visiting Professor or Visiting Scholar at the Université Paris-Sorbonne, the Institut National d’Études Démographiques (INED), the University of Vienna, Malmö University, and the University of Toronto.

Professor Rodríguez-García is the founder and director of the INMIX Research Group on Immigration, Mixedness, and Social Cohesion at UAB, officially recognized as a Consolidated Research Group by the Government of Catalonia (2021SGR-00181). He is also a member of the Network of Excellence on International Migration, Integration and Social Cohesion in Europe (IMISCOE) and an Affiliated Research Member of CERIS–The Ontario Metropolis Centre. As an expert on immigration and diversity, he is often consulted by the media and regularly participates in knowledge transfer for government bodies and civic associations.

His main areas of research are international migration, interethnic relations, and the social integration processes of immigrants and their descendants. In 1996 he pioneered research on “mixedness” in Spain, being the first Spanish researcher to investigate present-day intermarriage (across national, ethnocultural, racial, religious, and class boundaries), mixed families, mixed descendants, and the sociocultural processes of mixing (sociopolitical attitudes, identity processes, and the everyday construction of culturally hybrid spaces). For his innovative research, he has won a number of national awards.

Professor Rodríguez-García has directed 9 funded research projects and has participated as a senior researcher in another 8. Currently he is the principal investigator (PI) of the project “Dynamics of Mixedness among Roma Populations in Catalonia, Spain: Interethnic Relations, Acculturation and Processes of social Inclusion and Exclusion (GITMIX)”, funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science and Innovation (specifically the “National Program for Research Aimed at the Challenges of Society”).

He has authored or (guest-)edited 70+ publications in his field, including books, book chapters, special issues, and peer-reviewed journal articles. Selected publications include Beyond the Frontiers of Mixedness: New Approaches to Intermarriage, Multiethnicity, and Multiracialism (Special Issue guest-edited for Genealogy); “Forbidden Love: Controlling Partnerships Across Ethnoracial Boundaries” (International Handbook of Love: Transcultural and Transdisciplinary Perspectives, 2021); Re-constructing ways of belonging: Cross-country experiences of multiethnic and multiracial people  (Special Issue co-guest-edited for Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2021); “Blurring of Colour Lines? Ethnoracially Mixed Youth in Spain Navigating Identity” (Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2021); “Ethnicity, Multiculturalism, and Transnationalism” (The International Encyclopedia of Anthropology, 2018); “Linguistic Cultural Capital among Descendants of Mixed Couples in Catalonia, Spain: Realities and Inequalities” (Journal of Intercultural Studies, 2018);  “Preference and Prejudice: Does Intermarriage Erode Negative Ethno-racial Attitudes Between Groups in Spain?” (Ethnicities, 2016); Intermarriage and Integration Revisited: International Experiences and Cross-disciplinary Approaches (Special Issue guest-edited for The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 2015); “Contextualizing Transnational Kinship: Theoretical and Methodological Considerations” (AIBR-Journal of Iberoamerican Anthropology, 2014, Finalist AIBR Award for Best Article of Iberoamerican Anthropology); Managing Immigration and Diversity in Canada: A Transatlantic Dialogue in the New Age of Migration (McGill-Queen’s University Press, 2012); “Beyond Assimilation and Multiculturalism: A Critical Review of the Debate on Managing Diversity” (Journal of International Migration and Integration, 2010); and “Mixed Marriages and Transnational Families in the Intercultural Context” (Journal of Ethnic and Migration Studies, 2006, Award of Excellence for Research in the Social Sciences UAB 2008).

Professor Rodríguez-García has also given 80+ presentations at international and national conferences or workshops; organized conferences and panels; and served on conference scientific committees. Some examples are: the Managing Immigration and Diversity in Quebec and Canada Forum (an international conference funded by Spanish and Canadian government bodies, Barcelona, 2008); “Intermarriage, Mixedness, Integration and Social Cohesion Revisited: International Experiences and Cross-disciplinary Approaches” (Double Panel organized for the 11th Annual IMISCOE Conference, Madrid, 2014); and “Visibilizing Roma in the Debate on Race and Racialization in Europe: Empirical Evidence and Policy Challenges” (Panel organized for the 21st IMISCOE Annual Conference, Lisbon, 2024).
