Anna Korteweg (Professor of Sociology, University of Toronto Mississauga, PhD 2004 Sociology, University of California, Berkeley) is an accomplished researcher, digital storyteller, and builder of scholarly communities, whose work focuses on understanding the position of Muslim citizens in contemporary European and North American societies. She has published extensively on debates surrounding the wearing of the headscarf, so-called “honour-based” violence, and Sharia law. Her current SSHRC-funded research focuses on the return of women and men who joined ISIS to their European home countries. In addition, she is investigating the co-construction of borders and subjectivity in LGBTQ+ refugee politics, and the citizenship implications of refugee sponsorship in Canada. She has published two monographs: The Headscarf Debates: Conflicts of National Belonging (Stanford UP 2014, with Gökçe Yurdakul, 2016 German translation with transcript Verlag) and Debating Sharia: Islam, Gender Politics, and Family Law Arbitration (edited with Jennifer Selby, UToronto Press 2012), as well as over 30 peer-reviewed articles and book chapters. She was a visiting professor at the Department of Sociology, the University of Bielefeld (2013), and at the Amsterdam Center for European Studies, University of Amsterdam (2022). Korteweg was Chair of the Department of Sociology from 2015-20. Her research has been funded by multiple grants from the Social Science Research Council Canada, and funding from the Deutscher Akademischer Austauschdient (DAAD), and the Joint Centre of Excellence for Research on Immigration and Settlement (CERIS), among others. Korteweg is co-editor of Social Politics: International Studies in Gender, State & Society.
