Investigador de I-Communitas, Institute for Advanced Social Research, Universidad Pública de Navarra Áreas temáticas: radicalización violenta, seguridad colectiva, gobernanza y desarrollo. Actualmente vivo en Pamplona y dirijo una investigación sobre radicalización violenta en la UPNA. Antes de ello estaba en Madrid, dando clases en la UCJC y CEDEU/URJC, y dirigiendo el área de investigación y discurso de la Oficina de Asuntos Públicos de la comunidad bahá'í de España. He vivido muchos años en Latinoamérica, donde puede hacerme consciente de la necesidad del conocimiento, de la educación y de nuevas estructuras de aprendizaje que se dediquen al empoderamiento de las masas, a fin de crear una sociedad global más justa, sostenible y pacífica. Dentro de este contexto, me parecen especialmente relevantes las dinámicas de la gobernanza, el desarrollo y la seguridad, tres áreas a las que he prestado particular atención en los últimos años. En mi web (sergarcia.es) puedes conocer más de mí, ver mis libros y artículos académicos, así como mi labor con el Instituto para el Conocimiento, la Gobernanza y el Desarrollo globales (ICGD). El ICGD pretende ser una de esas nuevas estructuras que facilitan el aprendizaje para el cambio social positivo.
NERC Research Fellow, School of Earth Sciences, University of Bristol My research lies at the boundary between the fields of planetary science, astrophysics, geophysics and geochemistry. I study the formation, structure and evolution of terrestrial and giant planets. In particular, I aim to elucidate the history of Earth and how it became habitable. Simon currently has a research project investigating the consequences of the Moon-forming impact for the chemistry of Earth.

Previously I was a Senior Fellow at the Middle East Centre of the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Lecturer at the Centre for Middle Eastern Studies, Lund University. My research interests include the study of social identities, collective action, conflict and conflict transformation and insecurity - My books include 'Turkish Politics and ‘The People’: Mass Mobilisation and Populism' (Edinburgh University Press 2022), 'Islam in Europe: Public Spaces and Civic Networks' (Palgrave 2013, co-authored with R.

In 2019, I founded #RethinkingPopulism in collaboration with openDemocracy (until 2021) and as an independent platform supported by a consortium of universities (since 2022), and have been its lead editor. I have written extensively on Turkish, Middle Eastern and South Eastern European politics, on populism, nationalism and ethnic conflict, as well as on the cultures and politics of Muslim communities in Europe. A commentator with an energetic voice, I also frequently write about social and political issues for venues such as The Conversation, the LSE Blog, OpenDemocracy, Dialoguemos and Truthout.
