This project builds on the research project Staging Migration, which creates new knowledge on the potential of children's theater to stage an inclusive Sweden. The results point to the ways that theater creates meeting places for psychosocial identification, social analysis, and critical reflection that contribute to civil repair.

A lot is known about the inequalities experienced by refugees, but much less is known about their children’s lives. This project will study the inequalities that are faced by the children and grandchildren of refugees living in Sweden.

Why are educational inequalities by gender and immigrant background not those we would expect given students’ aspirations, confidence, and stress?

The project’s aim is to use an intersectional approach to investigate the role of employer hiring discrimination in the reproduction of ethnic by gender segregation and inequality in the labor market.

As societies are increasingly ethnically diverse, social integration is of increasing importance. Organised leisure activities (OAs) are framed as an additional arena of intergroup contact, with conditions especially conducive for promoting social integration. This project examines the extent to which OA-participants experience intergroup contact.

How does workplace and neighbourhood segregation shape the employment trajectories of refugees and their children?

Increased rates of immigration have led to rising concerns about integration in Europe. Social ties are often argued to promote integration by helping immigrants locate work and housing.

The purpose of the project Staging Migration is to produce theoretical and empirical knowledge about the potential of children's theater to stage an inclusive Sweden, and to investigate whether and how social boundaries between ”us” and ”them” may be reproduced as an unintended consequence.

How school systems respond to migration has an enormous impact on migrant integration. The project TEAMS - Teaching that matters: Understanding Levers of Integration in Scotland, Finland and Sweden addresses the urgent need to understand and help teachers meet the needs of migrant students.
