Trained as a geographer, I work interdisciplinarily within urban migration studies, with my main interest being contemporary urban citizenship.  My research has addressed issues such as municipal actors' role in homeless migrants' pandemic citizenship-making, immigrant bloggers’s translations of Copenhagen as a liveable city, municipal politics in accommodation of religious difference in Copenhagen, lived  urban temporalities, neighborhood landscapes and micro-politics of belonging in eastern Berlin, urban encounters across difference, changing politics of citizenship and nationness in Germany, insiderness in migration research, and temporalities of research supervision. My editorial work includes special issues migrants' Pandemic urban citizenship (Cities, 2024), Making of cities through migration industries (Urban studies, 2022), and Immigration socieities and the question of 'the national' (Ethnicities, 2015), and a book Governing through diversity (Palgrave McMillan, 2015).
