Her PhD project entitled "Placemaking from Below: Immigrants and Spatial Practices in Malmö” rests on the notion of placemaking as a continuous and flexible process. The research explores physical environments of ethnically diverse neighborhoods in relation to social interactions and cultural practices. This provides a crucial yet neglected perspective on how to understand and counteract segregation and marginalization with regard to identity processes and senses of place in such neighborhoods. The overall aim of the project is to explore migrant's spatial agencies in Malmö.
