Waiting

This project is located under the Department of Social Anthropology Stockholm University.

After deportation

This is a study of post-deportation outcomes. It focuses on what happens to asylum seekers after deportation from Sweden and their experiences. Although there is growing literature on detention and deportation, academic research on post-deportation is scarce.
