The European Cities and Neighborhoods Survey is led by Professor Narayani Lasala-Blanco (University of California) and Dr. Shahana Chattaraj (University of Sheffield), in collaboration with Professor Laura Morales (University of Leicester) and Ph.D. candidate Shannon Schumacher (University of California).
The goal of the project is to understand how different city and neighborhood contexts influence local public opinion on community, politics, and immigrant integration issues.
