Hello! I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Future Studies and the University of Oxford's Centre on Migration, Policy and Society (COMPAS). I am also affiliated to the Center for Responsible Leadership at the Stockholm School of Economics.  

I hold a PhD in Sociology from Umeå University. The focus of my dissertation was the effect of education on inter-ethnic attitudes. Previously, I earned an MSc. in Applied Social Research from Stockholm University and a B.A. in Sociology from The City College of New York. 

My research interests lie primarily in immigration, ethnic relations, prejudice, stigma, and integration. I am also interested in the history of sociology, social theory and languages.
