Jytte Klausen

Résumé
Jytte Klausen (born 21 February 1954) is a Danish-born scholar of politics who teaches at Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts as the Lawrence A. Wien Professor of International Cooperation in the Department of Politics. Klausen has also served as an affiliate at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies at Harvard, among other positions. Klausen is a graduate of the University of Aarhus in Denmark, and earned her doctorate at the New School for Social Research in New York City. Her background is in comparative historical research with a focus on Western Europe and North America. She also has expertise in domestic and international terrorism, Islam in the West, and immigration and social cohesion. At Brandeis, Klausen has taught undergraduate and graduate courses or classes that have focused on immigration, law and human rights, and religion and secularism through the lens of conflicts over the integration of Islam and Muslims in the West. Klausen's work has focused on social cohesion and immigration politics in Western Europe and the United States. Her approach is comparative and interdisciplinary with a methodological emphasis on what can best be described as political anthropology. Over the past two decades, she has focused on researching Islamist extremism and terrorism in the West. Some of Klausen's earlier work was concerned with the way in which European institutions were recalibrating postwar stabilization pacts that had been struck between religious institutions and secular civic and political movements, particularly on the Left, in response to a new wave of immigration occurring largely in the late 1990s. An article published in 2005 in Perspectives on Politics, called “The Re-Politicization of Religion in Europe: The Next Ten Years,” summarized her perspective. Klausen's second single-authored book, "The Islamic Challenge: Politics and Religion in Western Europe" (2005, 2007pb), was based on intensive interviews with Muslim politicians that she conducted in a number of European countries.
