Sweden and Denmark are similar in many ways. At the same time, the countries have had different migration patterns, political choices and economic development. By comparing these neighboring and fundamentally similar societies, it is possible to see more clearly how segregation arises, changes and has consequences.
Anna Tegunimataka, associate professor of economic history, talks about how place and social environment are connected to education, work, income and housing patterns. She also shows how segregation can be reinforced when more resourceful groups move from areas that are changing demographically. With her research, she wants to show how housing, politics and social structure interact in the creation of segregation and its consequences.
The lecture is introduced by Peter Kjällkvist, communications officer at the School of Economics and Business. Organized in collaboration with Lund University and the Crafoord Foundation. Free admission, no pre-registration required.
