You can find her lecture as podcast here. You can also download slides from the presentation.

The lecture is a part of the EURECO Distinguished Lecture Series 2014: While Europe is slowly recovering from the financial crisis that hit six years ago skepticism towards the EU and European integration is flourishing and we are witnessing both within the EU, in the member states, and among the general public intense debates about where European integration should be heading, how far, and how fast.

The 2014 EURECO Distinguished Lecture Series sat out to take a closer look at some of the issues which have received a lot of attention in the recent debates. To do so scholars from the Social and Legal sciences as well as the Humanities were invited to lecture on topics such as; the question of Social and Welfare Tourism in the EU, the complexities of the European Labour Market, and the challenges of Multiculturalism in Europe.
