Imagining and experiencing the 'refugee crisis' (IMEX)

Volunteer meeting

The IMEX-project investigates both the experiences of the recent Syrian diaspora in Europe and of the majority population in Norway. We draw on panel data, qualitative interviews, and fieldwork in local communities to investigate zones of negotiation and meeting points between the majority and the minority in the wake of the 'refugee crisis'. Read about what we will do in the work packages (WPs) here:

WP 1: Local and transnational trajectories among Syrians in Europe

WP 2: Ethnic relations at the local and national level
