Claire Adida on Discrimination Towards Muslims in France
France has a sizable and growing Muslim population, but how well are they integrated into national life? Prof. Claire Adida discusses a multi-pronged study conducted with David Laitin and Marie-Anne Valfort assessing the extent of discrimination on religious grounds and why it occurs.

She also discusses the field experiments conducted as part of this research.
