Dr Robert Schertzer is an Associate Professor at the University of Toronto. He publishes and teaches on the intersection of three areas: federalism, constitutional law, and the politics of national identity. His work has appeared in many top venues, including Ethnic and Racial Studies; Publius; Nations and Nationalism and the International Journal of Constitutional Law. His most recent book (with Dr Eric Taylor Woods), entitled The New Nationalism in America and Beyond (Oxford University Press, 2022), seeks to understand why the liberal democracies of the West are proving to be such fertile ground for ethnic nationalism, populism, and anti-immigrant sentiment. His first book, The Judicial Role in a Diverse Federation (2016, UTP), was shortlisted for the best book on Canadian politics by the Canadian Political Science Association. Prior to joining UofT, he spent a decade with the Government of Canada working on social policy, immigration policy and intergovernmental relations.

Dr Eric Taylor Woods is an Associate Professor in Sociology at the University of Plymouth.

Eric has also carried out research on the cultural politics of Britain's imperial past, and has published extensively on Christian-Indigenous relations in Canada, including the 2016 book, 'A Cultural Sociology of Anglican Mission and the Indian Residential Schools in Canada' (Palgrave, 2016). Eric also serves as a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Cultural Sociology at Yale University, and he is on the editorial boards of several leading journals.

Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism (ASEN). The Association for the Study of Ethnicity and Nationalism (ASEN) is an interdisciplinary student-led research association founded by research students and academics in 1990 at the London School of Economics & Political Science. ASEN seeks to fulfil two broad objectives: 1) to facilitate and maintain an interdisciplinary, global network of researchers, academics and other scholars interested in ethnicity and nationalism; and 2) to stimulate, produce, and diffuse world-class research on ethnicity and nationalism.

Study Platform on Interlocking Nationalisms (SPIN). SPIN aims to chart the cultural and historical root system of European nationalisms and to bring into focus those intellectual networks which carried and disseminated the emerging ideals of cultural nationalism in the Romantic period and in the long nineteenth century (1770-1914).

The Advisory Committee is composed of leading experts in the study of nationalism based in or near London, UK. The Advisory Committee provides advice on the scientific aspects of SoN, including suggesting potential authors and peer-reviewers.
