‘Slippery Suffering? A comparative ethnography of the encounter between survivors of war and the Scandinavian welfare states’.

Overall the project investigates the encounter between representatives from the Nordic welfare states and refugees from the Middle East. The overall aim is to explore who is regarded as a deserving victim by both survivors of violence and representatives of the Scandinavian welfare states, and thereby to compare processes of inclusion and exclusion of new citizens in and across Scandinavia.
