Understanding Global Migration
Understanding Global MigrationLeading scholars of migration have collaborated to provide a birds-eye view of migration interdependence. This book provides a truly global look at the dilemmas of migration governance: Will migration be destabilizing, or will it lead to greater openness and human development? The answer depends on the capacity of states to manage migration, especially their willingness to respect the rights of the ever-growing portion of the world's population that is on the move.
The Migration Seminar - Spring 2022
This is a multidisciplinary forum for researchers from all faculties at Malmö University with an interest in migration, integration, diversity and related issues. Master’s students and anyone else interested in the research field are welcome to participate in the Migration Seminar.
The purpose of the seminar is to facilitate an exchange of ideas and knowledge and to stimulate a pluralism of perspectives, theories and methods. It offers a wide variety of research-related activities ranging from paper and project presentations to specially-invited guests and panel debates. It also hosts the seminar series of the Malmö City Guest Professor in Migration Studies. As the seminar has a distinctly international profile, both with respect to attendance and topics, most sessions are held in English.
Seminars on Thursdays
During the spring the Migration seminars will be held in hybrid format, both online via zoom and in the seminar room 9th floor, Niagara, Nordenskiöldsgatan 1. If you like to participate on campus, gather by the reception area on ground floor at 14.10. Email us if you have any questions at mim@mau.se

Theorizing International Migration: Towards a ‘Unified field of Study?’
Migration Society 2.0 Lecture Series
Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM) is an international research center with a multidisciplinary profile and a strong international presence. Within the center and its extensive network, researchers develop, explore and exchange knowledge of international migration and ethnic diversity. The objective of the Migration Society 2.0 series is to draw attention to and enhance understanding of the new forms of diversity that migration scholars are talking about under banners such as super-diversity, everyday diversity, common place diversity, post-migration society and so on. We are specifically interested in how diversity is normalized and resisted on different levels and spheres of society. How is this normality construed and co-produced by its own generation of agents and subjects? What kind of mindset and strategy of co-existence is diversity, really? And how is it sustained in public imagery and narratives? To answer these questions, we have handpicked seven particularly interesting and original researchers from the diversity field.

Malmö City Guest Professor in Migration Studies
(former Guest Professorship in Memory of Willy Brandt)
The Guest Professorship within the field of International Migration and Ethnic Relations (IMER) is a donation to Malmö University financed by the City of Malmö when the University was inaugurated.
We are happy to welcome Professor Bridget Anderson, Specialist Research Institute Director,
Migration Mobilities Bristol, University of Bristol, in March 2022!
We are very happy to announce that we recently received confirmation from the City of Malmö that our guest professorship will be financed for another ten years. Malmö University and MIM have, since 2000, hosted 32 prominent researchers as part of the guest professorship and it has generated a constant and dynamic exchange of knowledge, enhancing MIM’s academic strength while also reinforcing our international network. We are therefore very glad that the City of Malmö wishes to continue collaborating with MIM and that we can look forward to another ten years of academic and social exchange with leading scholars from the migration field. Read more about the guest professorship and previous guest professors below.
International migration and ethnic relations
The aim of the professorship is to strengthen research at Malmö University within the field of IMER. As IMER has a strong international network, the City of Malmö sought, via the guest professorship, to strengthen contacts with international experts in order to ensure that they would become an integral part of research and teaching. An international guest professorship creates a constant and dynamic exchange of knowledge and enhances the centre’s academic strength. The donation also funds a research fellow and a PhD position.
Who was Willy Brandt?
Willy Brandt was West Germany’s Chancellor between 1969-1974. He was forced to seek refuge in Sweden during the Second World War and developed strong ties with the country. In order to emphasise the importance and status of the scientific investment, the City of Malmö obtained the family’s permission to name a guest professorship after him.

Our research
MIM was established in January 2007 with the goal of strengthening Malmö University’s migration research profile. Further to this, MIM was also envisaged as a platform to expand Malmö University’s international networks and build bridges between the university and non-academic actors. MIM consists of a core of senior and junior researchers and a large international network of affiliated researchers. MIM regularly hosts prominent professors in IMER from around the world.
The research conducted at MIM is multidisciplinary and is pursued in collaboration with international partners. It is funded either nationally or by the EU and can be classified under the following four themes:
We focus both on a general analysis of emigration and immigration from/to Sweden and other places, and on individual experiences of migration, and how these are represented in, for instance, politics, media and museums. Here, migration concerns people moving from conflict zones and applying for asylum in Sweden as well as other countries, but also highly educated people looking for better job opportunities in, for example, Shanghai and Sweden.
Migration politics are analysed at policy and discursive levels, and migration patterns, dynamics and outcomes are considered. The perspectives range from the global to the local and from the international to the transnational, and we employ a variety of methodological approaches.

Immigration creates both opportunities and challenges for the receiving country, and many of our research projects study the policies for and processes of inclusion, particularly those related to the first years after receiving residence. Under this theme, projects and studies deal with, for example, establishing “integration” indicators in a European context, which policies and practices are encountered by asylum seekers and refugees in local contexts. Research within this theme also studies which labour market integration and housing patterns are visible, including work-life balance for various immigrant and refugee groups by educational level as well country of origin.

Exploring the Integration of Post-2014 Migrants in Small and Medium-Sized Towns and Rural Areas from a Whole of Community Perspective (Whole-COMM)a whole of community perspective (Whole-COMM)
This research strand focuses on the representations of migration. How are issues of, for instance, ethnic diversity represented at universities, on stage in theatres, or at museums? How are national identities reproduced in the age of migration? These questions invite studies that move the research interest from “them” to “us”. What kind of stereotypes of and attitudes towards immigrants and different ethnic groups are found in societies both in and beyond the West? How do they affect majority-minority relations? How are people’s negative attitudes to increased levels of diversity translated to the realm of party politics and represented in the different media venues? More generally, how do the Scandinavian welfare states with historically homogenous populations, tackle the challenges of ethnic diversity? And what are the discursive changes and policy measures suggested and implemented in host-societies?
Other related research endeavours empirically and theoretically investigate notions of e.g. freedom of speech, hate speech activities, and tolerance and racism in everyday settings.

Almost all areas of integration are represented in our research, such as political integration, labour market integration and social integration from different theoretical and methodological perspectives. We study policy development and the effects of these policies as well as patterns of integration for the migrant communities. Several of our researchers have a special interest in the idea, institution and role of citizenship and its relation to integration. Our research focuses among other things on the motives of naturalisation policies, such as greater transparency, compulsory (cultural) assimilation, legal exclusion of foreigners, and political participation, as well as liberal democratic legitimacy. Another area of citizenship research is the formation and education of citizens in diverse societies in school. Our expertise in this field ranges from political and educational philosophy to curriculum and classroom studies and from politics and policy to ethnographic “realities on the ground”.
