She is examining how states integrate or accommodate culturally distinct peoples while maintaining a healthy balance between international and national rights and respect for national values. Most recently, she has looked at these questions in light of the debate around religious symbols in public schools in France. Her forthcoming book Risking Religious Freedom: France, the Veil and the Right to Act on Faith argues that France, and Europe more generally, are heading down a dangerous path in their reluctance to live up to the spirit of international human rights conventions. Dr. Adrian says, \u201cThese conventions have historically been interpreted to protect a wide range of manifestations of religious belief \u2013 and this stands in direct opposition to the current trend favouring a more narrow interpretation of this same right.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u2014&gt; See Dr. Adrian\u2019s Academia.edu Website<br>\n\u2014&gt; See Dr. Adrian\u2019s YouTube Channel<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Areas of Interest<br>\nReligious rights of minorities in Europe and the Americas<br>\n(Art. 18 &amp; Art. 9)<br>\nIdentity and self-expression among Muslim minority communities in Europe and the Americas<br>\nIntersections of multiculturalism, nationalism, religion and the law<br>\nSocial Theory<br>\nHuman Rights Law<br>\nSpotlight<br>\nCardus Law | Prof. Adrian discusses religious freedom in relation to her relation to her response to Faisal Bhabha\u2019s recent paper: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=mskUe3GjVFI&amp;feature=youtu.be<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Share: Twitter, Facebook<br>\nShort URL: https:\/\/carleton.ca\/law\/?p=3330<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Melanie ","cu_people_last_name":"Adrian","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[31],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-436","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-general"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Associate Professor ","cu_people_degree":"","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/436\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":679,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/436\/revisions\/679"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=436"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/landonpearsoncentre\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
