Research
My dissertation explores everyday – verbal and physical – practices of racialization among youth. In this study, I approach racialization as a process, and as a form of othering and social differentiation. I have collected data through participant observations and group interviews at a youth recreation center (YRC) in Sweden. Particularly, I am interested in ideas of difference and similarities, categories and stereotypes, racial intersections with other categories, and approaches to phenotypical markers. Through this in-depth study, I will nuance our understanding of when, where and how racialization matters in Sweden.
