Social cohesion shapes our everyday lives – in schools, neighborhoods, online, and in the workplace – yet it is under increasing pressure. Global migration, inequality, crises, and cultural diversity raise fundamental questions: How much difference can a society embrace, and who belongs? What holds us together, and what dynamics emerge as we negotiate these boundaries together?

• Manuela Bojadžijev, Professor of Global Migration at the Institute for European Ethnology, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, and
• Stefan Jonsson, Director of the Institute for Research on Migration, Ethnicity and Society at Linköping University, Sweden,

explored these questions in conversation.
