Current research

Hansen's project focuses on how pro-LGBTI actors in the EU promote and legitimize equal rights and citizenship status for sexual and gender minorities across member states.

He especially explores ways to assess the legitimacy of the European Commission’s attempts to position the EU as being LGBT-friendly, despite immense critique from select member states. In order to do so, he principally draws on theories of radical democracy with the aim of establishing a radical democratic normative theory of European integration. In addition, Hansen has recently explored the consequences of homonationalist political discourses for queer and feminist movements from the perspective of agonistic democratic theory.
