The Cultural Practice of Immigrant Filmmaking
(Swedish Research Council, 2013-2015)
Researchers: John Sundholm, Karlstad University, Lars Gustaf Andersson, Lund University.
Immigration to Sweden increased during the 1970s, and many of them were forced into exile. Some of them already were established filmmakers, others were amateurs, albeit with an interest in film. What united them was that they were all strangers in Sweden and that they tried to find their way in a new cultural situation.

In this follow-up study, we explore the practice architectures that enable and constrain the realisation of sustainable school development with a focus on the role and function of change agents in schools as organisations. In municipalities, the change agents go by names such as development leaders, teacher leaders, process leaders, middle leaders, etc. Their function can be broadly described as acting as pedagogical leaders with the task of promoting and driving school development.
Our task is to generate knowledge and promote learning. Learning processes often connect research with teaching and collaboration. This may take the form of inviting community actors as lecturers, or through research projects connected to university courses.
Our research questions are closely connected to processes, vulnerabilities and capacities of society. Partnerships with representatives from state agencies, business and municipalities form a natural and important part of our activities.
