Bridging worlds? Local leaders’ perspectives on civil society and integration in Sweden
The Construction and Negotiation of Social Identities Following a School Desegregation Initiative in Sweden
Swedish schools are highly segregated along the lines of non-im/migrants and im/migrants and their descendants. In this study we explored the processes involved in the negotiation of social identities following a school desegregation initiative in Sweden, aimed to create schools with more heterogeneous student bodies. We conducted 58 interviews with students and school staff at the closing and receiving schools, before and following the initiativ…

The aim of this article is to analyse how some issues that are considered controversial in the public debate are represented in the teaching of non-denominational an…

Related to the concept of safe space are questions about w…
