About MIM
MIM, Malmö Institute for Studies of Migration, Diversity and Welfare, was established on 1st January 2007 as a research institute at Malmö University. It strives to be a vibrant Swedish centre for research on migration, diversity and welfare, while at the same time keeping a high international profile.
MIM welcomes international scholars who choose to locate or undertake parts of their research projects in Sweden. The Willy Brandt Guest Professorship is a fully financed research position at MIM which hosts prominent researchers from all over the world. MIM is directed by Professor Pieter Bevelander and consists of a nucleus of senior and junior researchers, the guest professor and a network of affiliated researchers.
Research
Researchers affiliated with MIM focus on processes of mobility, inclusion and exclusion and its varying expressions in politics, policies, places, institutions as well as people’s everyday lives.
Research results are published in books, peer-reviewed journals as well as in our own publication series accessible via our homepage. News about our research is disseminated four times per year via our newsletter.
Networks & Activities
MIM organises workshops and conferences, and is represented in various organisations for migration related research such as the IMISCOE board, the NMR board and the Metropolis steering committee. MIM contributes to the newly developed PhD programme for studies of Migration, Urbanisation and Societal Changes (MUSA), started in March 2013 at Malmö University.
The weekly Migration Seminar is a cross-disciplinary forum for researchers inside and outside Malmö University, which also attracts policymakers and specialists from outside academia.

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. 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. The purpose of the Guest Professorship is 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. During their stays, the Guest Professors share their expertise with a wide audience of academics, students and the interested public in a series of lectures and debates at the university as well as open lectures at Malmö City Library co-organised with Europa Direkt.
Willy Brandt Guest Professors 2017:
Ruth Wodak is Emeritus Distinguished Professor at Lancaster University and is also affiliated to the University of Vienna. She specializes in linguistics, discourse studies, and critical discourse analysis.
Maarten Vink is the Chair of Political Science at Maastricht University and a Co-Director of the Maastricht Center for Citizenship, Migration and Development. His expertise lies in issues relating to migration, citizenship, immigrant integration, and political sociology.
"It is a pleasure and a privilege to be here at Malmö University at the MIM Institute. It is an internationally well-known research group and this professorship has had a pedigree for a number of
years, so it is an honour to be here and take up this position."

Research Projects at MIM
MIM is a natural meeting point for researchers and others who are jointly committed to the area of investigation without focusing on differences in e.g. disciplinary backgrounds. We achieve pluralism by
means of pragmatism. Our research is divided between projects that ethnographically and statistically engage with the lives of migrants and projects dealing indirectly with representations of migration in the
media, museums, minority groups, public attitudes and elsewhere. And we deal both with policy and discourse, both with the causes and the effects of migration. MIM contributes to concrete knowledge dissemination that is of direct use to policy-makers (in the Scania area, but also elsewhere) and to a scrutiny of analytical and critical work in the various fields of academic research devoted to migration and
integration. Some 20 to 30 research projects are currently based at MIM and range from locally funded research projects to EU projects.
Daily encounters at the border: reception in the EU and irregular migrants arriving by sea Contact person: Daniela DeBono
Co-workers: Professor Maja Povrzanovic Frykman, Department of Global Political Studies, Malmo University,
Professor Anna Triandafyllidou, Robert Schuman Centre for Advanced Studies and European University Institute, Florence
Funding: COFAS, Marie Curie Forte Outgoing International Fellowship
Alongside the increase in EU border control, there are efforts by the European Union (EU) and its Member States to mainstream human rights principles in external border control and in the construction of fair asylum systems. Research has so far focused on the analysis of policy and institutions, but not so much on what happens on the ground. This project proposes to contribute to these efforts by examining the reception of irregular migrants in Italy, Malta and Greece, which lie on the two most important routes for irregular entry into the EU - the Central Mediterranean Maritime Route and the Eastern Mediterranean Maritime route. This study aims to produce ethnographic descriptions of the everyday implementation of the reception activity on the ground. This is done through interviews and observation of the interaction between a) state officials, EU officials, and NGOs who are responsible for implementing of detection, rescue, registration, detention and information, and b) the migrants who reach European shores with their cultural practices, expectations and their perception of what the EU stands for and their needs.
Europe's Stateless Refugees: Navigating the Pre or Post National Space of Indefinite Statelessness in Sweden and Denmark
Contact person: Jason Tucker Funding: Malmö University
The research project investigates a largely overlooked group of refugees in Europe, those who are stateless. To be stateless is to not be considered as a citizen by any state. While a refugee faces a temporary lack of protection from their State, the stateless person permanently lacks this protection.
The aim of the research is to deconstruct the current analytical approaches regarding the statelessness or refugees. This will involve an analysis of UN Refugee Agency and European Union (EU) policy on stateless refugees. A comparative analysis, of how the legal and policy frameworks related to identifying statelessness in the asylum system, or addressing it following acceptance of a refugee, contribute to this situation of
FAMAC: Doing Family across Borders - A Comparative Study of Work, Family and Welfare Strategies among Polish Migrants in Norway, Sweden, and the UK
Contact person: Pieter Bevelander
Co-workers: Gunhild Odden, Center for Intercultural Communication; Kathy Burrell, University of Liverpool;
Nils Olav Østrem, University of Stavanger; Oleksandr Ryndyk, Center for Intercultural Communication; Hugrun Osk Gudjonsdottir, Center for Intercultural Communication
Funding: Research Council of Norway
This is an interdisciplinary research project dealing with Polish migration in three different countries, namely Norway, Sweden and the UK. The project seeks to answer the question: how do transnational family
considerations, combined with labour market conjuncture and migrants' rights to welfare provision in the host country, shape migrant workers' relation to work and welfare? The project will focus on two groups of Polish migrant workers: those living alone and those reunited with family in the host country. The study will explain why some migrant workers fare relatively better at the host country's labour market, while others are more prone to rely on social welfare provision. The project will in particular look at migrants' actual and planned use of welfare provision, tax-reduction strategies, and their plans regarding family reunification, re-emigration or eventual retirement in the host country.
Flyktingbarns erfarenheter och upplevelser av utsatthet och otrygghet i Sverige Contact person: Anna-Karin Ivert
Funding: Malmö University
In 2015 nearly 163,000 people applied for asylum in Sweden, more than 40 percent of whom were children below the age of 18. There have been reports of incidents from within the accommodations for these children, as well as of violent attacks directed at refugee accommodations by outsiders, which can make children feel unsafe. The objective of the proposed project is to investigate how the social context (at the accommodation and in the surrounding neighbourhood) influences victimisation and fear of criminal victimisation among refugee children, as well as the consequences of fear and victimization on their well-being and everyday life. The proposed project has a quantitative and qualitative approach aiming at exploring prevalence of exposure to violence and fear of crime.

What are the relationships between policies and laws on citizenship and experiences of belonging, recognition and sense of community? This project will shed new light on relationships between citizenship and integration by studying top-down policies and bottom-up lived experiences.Considering the homogeneity in the
Scandinavian countries, the discrepancy in current citizenship regulation is remarkable. However, overall, citizenship in Scandinavia has become eroded, as most substantial rights are attached to permanent residency. We will study these citizenship policies through document analysis and interviews with civil servants and we will also learn about the experiences of immigrants and descendants, as citizens or
prospective citizens, through a Scandinavian survey. In Norway we also use ethnographic methods to capture lived experiences of people living in a diverse society. We are interested in the lived experiences of people
GLIMER - Governance and Local Integration of Migrants and Europe's Refugees Contact person: Erica Richard
Funding: FORMAS
The overarching aim of the GLIMER project is to generate theoretically informed and empirically grounded knowledge that may function to support policy-makers and stakeholders to cultivate durable solutions in the governance of local integration of migrants and refugees in Europe. The GLIMER consortium consists of partners from Italy and Cyprus (two landing points for many refugees as they first enter the EU) and UK and Sweden (two countries seen as final destinations), and the cases focus on new arrivals in the areas in and around Consenza, Nicosia, Glasgow and Malmö.
Based in an understanding of the link between governance and integration at the local level, the project will examine emergent systems of co-responsibitliy between local and national agencies in their responses to managing the integration of migrants and refugees.
The GLIMER project is a Joint Programme Initiative (JPI) under the H2020 and was selected for funding by ERA-NET Cofund Smart Urban Futures (ENSUF). The project consortium consists of five partners: University of Strathclyde, University of Calabria, Malmö University, Mediterranean of Gender Studies in Cyprus, and University of Stirling. The consortium is led by Nasar Meer, Strathclyde University, and Swedish part is led by Erica Righard and funded by FORMAS (The Swedish Research Council for Environment, Agricultural
Sciences and Spatial Planning).
MILSA 2.0
Contact person: Slobodan Zdravkovic
Co-workers: Elisabeth Mangrio, Peter Håkansson, Katarina Carlzén and Ragnar Westerling Funding: European Union: Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund
This project aims to contribute to the body of knowledge, methodology, and policy development pertaining to the effects that migration has on health in order to promote more efficient integration. The health situation of adults, families, and young people is explored, as well as the effects of an extended society
orientation spread to several social arenas linked to social capital, sense of context, and the ability to absorb information. MILSA is a research-based support and development platform for a health- promoting labour market establishment. The research combines information regarding the needs of the target group as well as the practical application of knowledge-based establishment efforts. The expected outcome is targeted and health-oriented establishment efforts that improve the conditions for more efficient integration on equal terms.
Museer som integrativa arenor Contact person: Christina Johansson
Co-workers: Maja Povrzanović and Pieter Bevelander
Funding: Malmö University and European Union: Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund
The importance of museums as sites of meetings and development of projects that involve migrants, is highlighted by a UNESCO-IOM initiative. In the context of the current influx of refugees and the changing political climate, there are plans for establishing a democracy- and migration museum in Sweden.
The National Integration Evaluation Method (NIEM) Contact person: Sayaka Osanami Törngren
Funding: European Union: Asylum, Migration, and Integration Fund
This is a six-years long transnational project which aims to prepare key actors in the integration field in 15 EU Member States to better face the current challenges and improve the integration outcomes of
beneficiaries of international protection. NIEM will establish a mechanism for a biennial, comprehensive evaluation of the integration of beneficiaries of international protection to provide evidence on gaps in integration standards, identify promising practices and evaluate the effects of legislative and policy
changes.NIEM is led by IPA, the Institute of Public Affairs in Warsaw. MPG, the Migration Policy Group, is the coordinating research partner responsible for elaboration and further development of the NIEM
indicators and the comprehensive comparative reports. Other strategic partners are the UNHCR
Representation in Poland and UNHCR Regional Representation for Central Europe in Budapest, the Polish Ministries of Interior and Administration and of Family, Labour and Social Policy, and the University of Warsaw.
Skilled migration to globalising China: An ethnographic study on migrants Contact person: Brigitte Suter
Partner: Fudan University, Shanghai
Funding: COFAS 2, Forte Outgoing International Postdoc Fellowship
This project studies the reasons for and motivations of skilled Swedish and Swiss nationals’ migration to Shanghai. While the study seeks to shed light on how processes of global economic integration propel skilled Europeans (including European families) to move to China, the focus of the project lies on how this move is experienced and narrated by the persons in question. The project seeks to contribute to the study of migrant professionals in several ways: Firstly, it considers relevant economic, political and social
developments in the home and host countries that lead to this type of migration. By studying the migration of skilled migrants from developed countries to an emerging market, this project will add a perspective seldom explored in migration studies. Secondly, the project looks at Shanghai not only as a Global City in which a highly specialised service sector juxtaposes a large low-skilled service sector but also as a city where social and spatial inequalities prevail. The project seeks to analyse the socio-economic position of skilled Swiss and Swedish migrants, their efforts and challenges of incorporation into the city as well as impacts on their identities. Thirdly, the project focuses on the migrants itself, and pays attention to specific arrangements of their new life. Through narratives with Swedish and Swiss nationals from a variety of backgrounds, the project offers an original window into the negotiations and contestations of norms and practices in contemporary Swedish and Swiss societies.
Transnational Child Welfare and Protection Arrangements for Refugee Children Contact person: Tessa Verhallen
Funding: Malmö University
The aim of the study is to address the questions how child welfare and protection arrangements are actively shaped by refugee children, their families, central authorities and service professionals (including social work professionals, family supervisors, immigration services, human rights organizations), and how these micro-level arrangements are related to (changes in) national policies and macro- level ‘transnational child welfare and protection mixtures'.
When do children of immigrants thrive?
How schooling and politics affect civic and educational outcomes Contact people: Christian Fernandéz and Pieter Bevelander
Partner: Aarhus University
Funding: Rockwool Foundation, Denmark
What should the state do to help children of immigrants become thriving citizens? We know that children of non-Western immigrants generally lag behind their native-ethnic counterparts in terms of educational outcomes and civic knowledge, with immigrant-background boys consistently having worse outcomes than other groups. We know much less about their self-esteem, sense of belonging, trust and civic attitudes. While often important in themselves, these outcomes have also been shown by various studies to affect not just democratic engagement and solidarity, but educational outcomes and employment as well.This project aims to offer new insights into what the incorporation of cultural diversity into the daily operations and teaching of schools does to educational performance, self-esteem, sense of belonging, trust, civic attitudes and political participation among children of immigrants. To this end, the project is inspired by discussions in normative political theory of minority incorporation in schools. In this literature different goals – e.g., equality, minority recognition, national identity enhancement, and the creation of civic dispositions like critical
autonomy, tolerance, and deliberative skills – may well compete. And each goal could arguably either require or be hampered by accommodating ethno-religious diversity. Controversy here, over and above normative principles, very much reflects causal disagreements about what works.
YMobility: Maximizing opportunities for individuals, labour markets and regions in Europe Contact person: Henrik Emilsson
Partners: Sapienza University of Rome, Bielefeld University, University of Almeria, University College Cork,
University of Latvia, University of Bucharest, Slovak Academy of Sciences, University of Surrey, University of Sussex
Funding: European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program
YMOBILITY develops a comprehensive research programme which addresses the following issues: (i) identifying, and quantifying, the main types of international youth mobility in the EU, and their key characteristics; (ii) understanding what determines which individuals do and which do not participate in international mobility as personal and professional development strategies: their motives, migration
channels and information sources; (iii) analysing the individual outcomes in terms of both employability and careers and non- economic terms; (iv) analysing the territorial outcomes for the regions of both origin and destination, in economic, demographic and cultural terms; (v) differentiating between short-term and long- term outcomes, taking into account return migration and future intentions to migrate; (vi) identifying
implications for policies in migration but also of education, the economy and housing.
The research will utilise existing secondary data for the whole of the EU, but will mainly rely on primary quantitative data (large-scale surveys) and qualitative data (interviews). The study will focus on 9 countries representing different contexts for youth mobility: Romania, Slovakia and Latvia; the UK and Sweden; Germany, Italy, Ireland and Spain. The policy analysis will be informed by interviews undertaken with key informants. Experimental methods will be used to assess how individuals will respond to different scenarios of future economic and social change.
