Doctoral project

My research is situated within migration studies, urban research, and human geography.

In my doctoral research project, I explore local level housing policies through the lens of a contemporary restrictive and impermanence-oriented migration regime in Sweden. Taking the contemporary shift in European and Swedish migration politics as a starting point I scrutinize through what mechanisms and techniques a restrictive turn at the national level implicates the right to housing, in particularly for refugee migrants, at the local level.
