Rebecka Söderberg
Rebecka Söderberg is a PhD student in IMER at Malmö University. She holds a MA degree in European Ethnology from the University of Copenhagen. Her doctoral thesis explores how urban diverse neighbourhoods are problematised in Danish and Swedish urban and integration policies. Furthermore, based on ethnographic fieldwork, it explores how residents in a multi-ethnic public housing neighbourhood in Copenhagen, Denmark, experience their neighbourhood and interventions for social mix, which are taking place as a result of the ‘ghetto legislation’. Combining perspectives from critical migration studies and critical urban studies, the thesis highlights social and spatial injustices and mechanisms of exclusion.
