From Measuring “Integration” to Representing “Superdiversity” The Role of Migration Research and Education at Malmö University in Knowledge Production on Migration

Abstract

International migration to Sweden and its larger cities has been substantial over the last six decades. In particular, the last three decades have seen a growing number of individuals settling in the third major city of the country, Malmö, whose population now originates globally. University education on the topic (IMER) at Malmö University and research conducted at the Malmö Institute for Migration Studies has kept pace with these demographic and societal developments, including through the development of the Migration Society 2.0 database, a unique database built on a recurring survey that will help enhance our knowledge and understanding of the patterns of migration-induced diversity, inclusion and exclusion that characterize Sweden.
