Research

Dalia Abdelhady's research bridges migration studies and postcolonial theory, examinining how immigrant communities interact with and navigate institutional structures in their new homes, from schools and labor markets to media representations and policy frameworks. Through her scholarship, she brings important postcolonial perspectives to the sociology of migration, highlighting both structural constraints and individual agency in immigrant experiences. At Lund University, she continues to develop comparative approaches to understanding the complex relationships between immigrant communities and receiving societies, contributing to both academic and policy discussions around migration and integration.
