I'm affiliated with DEKK because its mission sits squarely where my own work lives — using rigorous science to understand social cohesion, religion, and extremism. Pavol and the team bring a grounded, field-tested perspective on what actually holds a society together, and that's exactly the kind of research I want to be part of.
