About me
Sarah Hamed is currently working as a postdoctoral researcher together with Professor Fataneh Farhani and Professor Yasmin Gunaratnam on a project funded by the Swedish Research Council with the title: The Afterlives of Migration: Integration, Ordinary Ethics and Intimate citizenship. This qualitative project examines the concept of integration through the narratives of those who are considered to be integrated through focusing on people's everyday dilemmas, narratives of belonging, well-being, and pleasure.
Sarah Hamed is a sociologist who defended her thesis in 2023. Her thesis concerned uncovering racialisation in healthcare through analysing healthcare staff's racialised talk. Sarah Hamed has previously worked on a variety of projects focusing on issues related to racism, racialisation, inequalities, and migration in Sweden and other European countries.
