With Prof. Aladin El-Mafaalani, the Department of Social Sciences is gaining one of the most renowned sociologists in the field of migration and education. This will make migration sociology in Dortmund a beacon within the department's profile.

Prof. Aladin El-Mafaalani's move is also making waves in the press and on social media, with the Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung regretting that the University of Osnabrück was unable to retain the "star professor". The press from Dortmund (e.g. Ruhrnachrichten) and the surrounding area (e.g. Dattelner Morgenpost) are delighted that one of the best-known sociologists has returned to his homeland.

So is the Department of Social Sciences, which is eagerly awaiting the new arrival in the summer semester 2024. The respected academic, bestselling author ("Das Integrationsparadox" (2018), "Mythos Bildung" (2020) and "Wozu Rassismus?" (2021)) and sought-after expert is now teaching and researching in his home town. Prof. Aladin El-Mafaalani will be an excellent asset to the department's degree courses.
