I seek to understand the local variations of access to residence permits in the Swedish welfare state today, as permanent residency and family reunification are regulated on a local level through material and temporal conditions tied to housing and education. In the thesis I further explore how welfare workers such as integration coordinators, school staff and social workers shape and negotiate their bordering roles in this context of expanding internalized bordering.
I have published in anthologies and journals such as Critical Social Policy and European Journal of Social Work, and opinion pieces in law journals and daily newspapers. In 2023 I was a visiting scholar at the Center for Race and Gender at the University of California Berkeley.
My background is in Global development studies and International migration and ethnic relations, and previously I have done research on the genealogies of detention practices in Sweden. During 2015–2017 I worked with issues regarding municipal reception of children seeking asylum "unaccompanied" in Sigtuna municipality and the City of Malmö and I have been involved in asylum rights networks since 2011.
