Presentation

I am a Ph.D student in International Migration and Ethnic Relations (IMER) at Malmö University. I hold a master's degree in European Ethnology from the University of Copenhagen. In my current research, I explore how urban diverse neighbourhoods are problematised in Danish and Swedish urban and integration policies. Furthermore, based on ethnographic fieldwork, I explore how residents in a multi-ethnic public housing neighbourhood in Copenhagen, Denmark, experience and resist interventions for social mix, which are taking place as a result of the ‘ghetto legislation’. My doctoral thesis combines perspectives from critical migration studies and critical urban studies.
