The Research Institute MIM, Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare, was established on 1st January 2007 and is now in its fifth year of operation. MIM is a higher education multidisciplinary research institute based at Malmö University and serves as an integrated meeting place and research arena for migration and ethnicity researchers from a variety of disciplines. We think that it is important to describe the kind of activities that we have been involved with in our first five years of existence and what we have managed to achieve during that time with the limited resources at our disposal. From now on we plan to publish an annual report of our work each year.

The core of our work has been the outreach-based research seminars that have been arranged more or less every other week during term-time and the workshops and conferences that have taken place on a more occasional basis during the term. One conference in particular should be mentioned, namely the 15th _{Nordic Migration Research Conference entitled “Global Challenges - Local}

Responses”. This was the largest and most important conference that MIM has been responsible for. It took place in August 2010 and had five internationally renowned keynote speakers as invited participants. It was significant in the sense that Nordic Migration Research organisation became an important Nordic actor in gathering together migration and ethnicity researchers.

A somewhat different, but nevertheless highly esteemed part of our work has been the themed seminars representing a variety of perspectives and the public debates with invited panellists and politicians. Collaborative events organised jointly with the City of Malmö and associations and clubs in Malmö, with invited international researchers, have also been a successful feature of our work.

As can be seen from this report, our research seminars and workshops have a broad span and reflect the research institute’s thematic emphases of migration and politics, migration and welfare and migration and diversity. The international contribution in the form of the participation of researchers from different parts of the world has been strong and the result of a deliberate strategy on the part of the institute. The opportunity to invite expert and internationally recognised migration researchers was made possible by the gift from the City of Malmö in the form of a Guest Professorship in Memory of Willy Brandt. Together with this, a research fellow and a postgraduate post have also been an integrated part of MIM’s activities from its inception.

Senior and younger postdoc researchers as well as doctoral students in the discipline have been stimulated to hold seminars. In addition, experts from other higher education institutions have been invited to hold seminars. As a research institute for diversity we have been keen to attract researchers with different scientific views and perspectives to our seminars. Similarly, we have not been afraid of addressing controversial and burning issues at our seminars and workshops.

Another central part of our work in this initial period has been a prioritised investment in no less than three different publication series: Willy Brandt Series of Working Papers, Current Themes in IMER Research and MIM Working Papers Series. The publication in book form of the Willy Brandt Conference Proceedings and a number of other books can also be added to the list.

Professor Björn Fryklund MIM Director

Malmö, 1st _{December 2011}

INTRoducTIoN

Migration and its effects in different areas become increasingly central to a debate that spans local, regional and international levels and involves a number of institutions and networks connecting researchers, policymakers and practitioners. Migrant incorporation processes occur at the local level, even though the reasons for and decisions about it take place at national and international levels and can be strongly influenced by migrants’ transnational practices. Malmö University recognised the need for pursuing socially relevant research based on internationally situated comparisons.

In January 2007 Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare (MIM) was established as a joint research institute in order to build on the perspectives of migration and ethnicity profiled in many of Malmö University›s courses and programmes. Research is done first and foremost in collaboration with other researchers, although partners like public authorities and agencies, institutions, organisations and professionals responsible for managing and carrying out migration and integration policies are also included and involved. Investment in MIM, together with the placement of the Guest Professorship in International Migration and Ethnic Relations in Memory of Willy Brandt at MIM, has included incentives aimed at acquiring a prominent international position in the development of research on migration, diversity and welfare. MIM aims to contribute to and develop a migration perspective in Swedish social sciences. It has an important role to play in developing research on migration, diversity and welfare beyond consultancy-based normative analyses.

In MIM’s research strategies and programme documents three themes have been highlighted as especially relevant, all of which include local, transnational and global aspects: migration and politics, migration and diversity and migration and welfare.

Different research programmes and projects are coordinated and developed under each theme. An emphasis on the Öresund and Scania Region, with a particular focus on Malmö when relevant, serves as a useful profile for MIM and helps to maintain a comparative perspective in an international context, with a developed sensitivity for the transnational aspects of local effects of migration.

The focus is on contemporary societal processes of inclusion and exclusion con-cerning politics, policies, places, institutions and people’s everyday lives. Subject fields thus include:

• democracy, citizenship, nationalism, populism and xenophobia • ethnic diversity in regions, cities and organisations

• institutions and professions in school, leisure, sport and health • transnational practices at institutional and grassroots levels

As documented in this report, research at MIM integrates a wide spectrum of subject fields in a fruitful way, where synergy effects are developed, networks expanded and channels are created that facilitate research and the dissemination of research results nationally, internationally and beyond the traditional academic sphere.

The following pages document the academic work done at MIM in the course of the first four years of its existence. As the seminars involved many colleagues from different places of work, the list of academic achievements only includes the work of those colleagues who are or have been formally connected with MIM. One of MIM’s aims has also been to contribute to the education of younger researchers in MIM’s field of research by ensuring that doctoral candidates affiliated to MIM collaborate with Guest Professors and other senior researchers in a variety of research seminars, workshops and conferences. This is why the work of several PhD candidates placed at the Department of IMER, who shared MIM’s offices and contributed to its vivid seminar culture, is also included in this report.

MIM’s research efforts attempt to enhance Malmö University’s opportunities to influence local and regional social development. MIM proved to be an efficient means for Malmö University to increase and improve its contacts with policymakers and practitioners in the areas of migration and integration.

Most importantly, international contacts with researchers have resulted in a number of scientific publications in the form of books and articles in peer-reviewed journals. MIM has also organised several successful conferences. The one that involved most participants was the 15th _{Nordic Migration Research}

Conference “Global Challenges - Local Responses”.

GueST PRofeSSoRShIP IN MeMoRy of

WIlly BRANdT

The Guest Professorship in International Migration and Ethnic Relations (IMER) in Memory of Willy Brandt is a gift to Malmö University financed by the City of Malmö and sponsored by MKB Fastighets AB. It was donated to The School of IMER on the occasion of the inauguration of Malmö University on 31 August 1998, and signed by Ilmar Reepalu, Chairman of the Municipal Executive Board. Between 1998 and 2007 the Guest Professorship in Memory of Willy Brandt was placed at the School of IMER and since 2007 has been housed at MIM.

In order to emphasise the importance and status of the scientific investment in a Guest Professorship and its associated posts, the City of Malmö obtained the family’s permission to name the Guest Professorship after the former Chancellor of West Germany, Willy Brandt. The motives for calling it the Guest Professorship in Memory of Willy Brandt are as follows:

• Willy Brandt was forced to leave his native country when the Nazis as-sumed power and live in Norway until the outbreak of war. He subse-quently lived in Sweden as a refugee during the war. Throughout his life he maintained strong ties with Scandinavia.

• In his political actions Willy Brandt was an active and forceful opponent of all forms of racism.

• Willy Brandt was a leading figure in the struggle for human rights. He also took important initiatives to open up a dialogue between East and West.

The purpose of the Guest Professorship has been to strengthen research at Malmö University in the field of IMER. The City of Malmö sought, via the Guest Professorship, to reinforce contacts with international experts in order to ensure that they would become an integral part of research and teaching in the field of IMER. To this end, an internationally oriented Guest Professorship creates a constant exchange of knowledge and ideas and enhances Malmö University’s academic strength clustered at MIM.

The gift from the City of Malmö also includes a Research Fellow (forskarassistent) and a postgraduate or doctoral student (doktorand) post. In 2007-2010, Pieter Bevelander was the Willy Brandt Research Fellow and Brigitte Suter was the Willy Brandt doctoral student. During her leave of absence, her administrative duties were carried out by Sayaka Osanami Törngren.

A detailed report and assessment, issued by Björn Fryklund and Maja Povrzanović Frykman in 2006, is available for the period between Autumn 2000 and Autumn 2005 (Guest Professorship in Memory of Willy Brandt at IMER, Malmö University, Report and Assessment, Autumn 2000 - Autumn 2005. Malmö: Malmö University, 2006, ISBN 91-7104-067-6). It is available at www.mah.se/MUEP.

Professor Bo Stråth (University of Helsinki) evaluated the Guest Professorship in 2010. His evaluation report is available at www.mah.se/mim (Bo Stråth, Migrationsforskning i Malmö: Tio års landvinningar och framtida möjligheter. En utvärdering av gästprofessuren till Willy Brandts minne vid Malmö högskola, 2010). From 2007 to 2011, the Willy Brandt Guest Professor position was held by the following people: David Ingleby (The Netherlands), Cas Mudde (Belgium), Yasemin Soysal (UK), Carlo Ruzza (Italy/UK), Peggy Levitt (USA), Daniel Hiebert (Canada), Raymond Taras (USA) and Ayhan Kaya (Turkey).

Abridged versions of their CVs are included in the following pages. Details of their seminars at MIM, public lectures and conference participation can be found in the respective sections of MIM’s activities.

Professor Nina Glick Schiller,

honorary doctorship

Professor Nina Glick Schiller has a long-standing relationship with researchers at Malmö University. She was a Willy Brandt Guest Professor in 2006 and has made repeated visits to Malmö. Her work has very high relevance for research carried out at the Faculty of Culture and Society and as a person and scholar she is highly esteemed among her Malmö colleagues.

Nina Glick Schiller is Director of the Cosmopolitan Cultures Institute and Professor of Social Anthropology at the University of Manchester. She is an associate of the Max Planck Institute of Social Anthropology, Halle/Saale, and a senior associate of the Max Planck Institute for Ethnic and Religious Diversity in Göttingen. In her articles, chapters, reports and books, Nina Glick Schiller has developed a comparative and historical perspective on migration, transnational and diasporic processes, and social relations. Her current research interests include the relationships between migrants and cities, the transnationality of cities, diasporic cosmopolitanism and cosmopolitan sociability. Glick Schiller’s research has been conducted in Haiti, the United States and Germany, and she has worked with migrants from all regions of the globe. She is currently engaged in research projects in Manchester (UK) and Copenhagen (Denmark). She has also critiqued research paradigms and methodological nationalist orientations in migration, urban and health studies.

In migration and urban studies her concern has been to explore differences of power within transnational social fields in relation to the constitution of gender, race, class, status, poverty, the second generation, citizenship and national identity. She is the founding editor of the journal Identities: Global Studies in Culture and Power. Her recent book projects continue to develop migration theory by contesting the methodological nationalism in migration studies. They question the comparative framework that remains fixed in an analysis of individual nation-states and state policies. The book Locating Migration: Rescaling Migrants and Cities, co-edited with Ayse Caglar, examines the relationships between the scalar positioning of cities and the pathways of migrant transnationality. Migration, Development and Transnationalization: A Critical Stance, co-edited with Thomas Faist, questions the celebration of migrants as agents of development.

Nina Glick Schiller was appointed as Honorary Doctor at Malmo University at an Academic Ceremony held on 21 October 2011.

Willy Brandt Series of Working Papers in International Migration and Ethnic Relations 2/08 imer • mim M al MÖ 2008

The Willy Brandt Series of Working Papers in International Migration and Ethnic Relations is a forum for research in, and debate about, issues of migration, ethnicity and related topics. It is associated with guest professorship in memory of Willy Brandt. Thus, the Series makes available original manuscripts by the Willy Brandt Guest Professors.
