Τα ερευνητικά μου ενδιαφέροντα εντάσσονται στο πεδίο της κοινωνικής ψυχολογίας των Διομαδικών σχέσεων. Μεγάλο μέρος της ερευνητικής μου δουλειάς αφορά τη μελέτη της ρητορικής της προκατάληψης και του ρατσισμού σε διαφορετικά κοινωνικο-πολιτικά πλαίσια, καθώς και κοινωνικές αναπαραστάσεις της μετανάστευσης και της κοινωνικής ένταξης μεταναστών και προσφύγων. Το πιο πρόσφατο δημοσιευμένο έργο μου αφορά ακόμη θεσμικές και καθημερινές κατασκευές της πολιτειότητας και της πολιτικής συμμετοχής, καθώς και κοινωνιοψυχολογικές διαστάσεις της ανεργίας και της εργασιακής επισφάλειας. Mελετώ τα θέματα που με ενδιαφέρουν με ποιοτικές μεθόδους έρευνας, και κυρίως εφαρμόζοντας αρχές και μεθοδολογικά εργαλεία της ρητορικής και της λογοψυχολογίας.
