Focus
The research programme in segregation shall contribute new knowledge about the significant socio-economic differences that exist, for example between different housing areas, city districts, and parts of the country in Sweden in terms of factors such as school results, level of education, use of language, occupation, income, health, life span, security, participation in democracy, and involvement in cultural life.
The wide focus of the research programme means that urgent questions relating to segregation can be looked at from a number of different perspectives. We welcome applications from all scientific fields, and also cross-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary approaches. The research may cover both local and national circumstances, as well as international comparisons. Research within the programme shall contribute to creating knowledge-based and effective practices.
