Professor Heiko Beyer holds a chair position at the Department of Sociology IV within the Faculty of Arts and Humanities and Social Sciences at Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf. His academic work spans multiple domains of contemporary sociological inquiry with particular emphasis on prejudice studies, political sociology, and the sociology of religion. Beyer maintains an active research profile with numerous publications in leading sociological journals and serves as principal investigator for several major research projects funded by prestigious German research institutions. Professor Beyer's research interests form a cohesive body of work examining various dimensions of social prejudice and political attitudes. His scholarship demonstrates particular expertise in antisemitism studies, where he has developed innovative methodological approaches to measuring contemporary manifestations of anti-Jewish sentiment. His work also explores anti-Americanism as a comparative framework for understanding prejudice, examining the "elective affinities" between different forms of resentment. Additional research areas include the sociology of social movements, the intersection of religion and politics in Europe, and human rights implementation in diverse social contexts. Beyer's methodological approach combines quantitative survey research with qualitative analysis, often employing experimental designs to uncover the social context dependence of prejudicial attitudes. An analysis of Professor Beyer's recent publications reveals a clear trajectory toward increasingly sophisticated examinations of antisemitism in contemporary Germany. His work has evolved from theoretical examinations of antisemitism's historical development to nuanced empirical studies capturing its current manifestations across different social milieus. A distinctive feature of his recent scholarship is the examination of how global events, particularly conflicts in the Middle East, create "spaces of opportunity" for antisemitic expressions. He has also pioneered research on the relationship between political Islam and Jewish experiences in Germany, producing some of the first systematic studies on how radical Islamic ideologies impact Jewish life. His methodological contributions include developing new antisemitism scales and employing factorial survey experiments to measure latent attitudes. Professor Beyer currently leads three major research projects: "Antisemitism in the General Population of North Rhine-Westphalia" (funded by the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, 2022-2024), "Social Contexts of Equality Practices" (a Heisenberg project funded by the German Research Foundation, 2019-2024), and "The Impact of Radical Islam on Jewish Life in Germany" (funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research, 2020-2024). These projects collectively represent significant contributions to understanding prejudice, human rights implementation, and minority experiences in contemporary German society. His research often involves collaboration with interdisciplinary teams and has practical implications for educational programs combating antisemitism and promoting social equality.
