Aktuelle prosjekt:
Russiske migranter og antikrigsbevegelsen i Europa (2022-)
Russian Migrants and the anti-war movement (RAW)
This pilot project funded by the University of Bergen was initiated in September 2022. It explores the experiences and activities of Russian migrants in Europe who have mobilized for peace after the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Based on observations and in-depth interviews, the project studies the Russian anti-war movement abroad focusing initially on one central (Berlin) and two more peripherical (Barcelona and Oslo) sites. In Germany, mobilization for democracy in Russia has diversified and/or intensified in the wake of the invasion, while in Spain and Norway the full-scale invasion has strengthened the emergence of Russian migrants mobilizing for a democratic development. The project also takes into account that the Russian anti-war movement abroad is highly transnational, spanning local initiatives and individuals across many locations, including initiatives inside Russia. In a migrant population known for not being easily mobilized for political purposes, what motivates and what restricts Russians who live in Europe to mobilize against the war and for a democratic development in Russia? Does the political mobilization of Russian migrants against war that started in 2022 have bearings on the potential for building a stronger pro-democratic community of Russian migrants in Europe? These are the central research questions to be addressed by this project.

Veiledning
Susanne Bygnes veileder PhD-stipendiatene Amany Selim (2017-2022) og Eli Melby (2020-2024) som begge har et sosiale bevgelsespersktiv på sitt arbeid. Selim skriver om mobilisering av den Syriske diasporaen i Europa som en del av IMEX-prosjektet og Melby skriver De gule vestene i Frankrike med særlig fokus på kvinners deltakelse. Bygnes har veiledet masteroppgaver med fokus på sosiale bevgelser og lokal responser på migrasjon (Kristine Wenaas 2017; Evelyn Holmøy 2017; Nikolai Bogre 2020) alle som en del av IMEX. Hun har også veiledet masteroppgaver om unge flyktninger og migranters overgang til voksenlivet, om identitet og tilhørighet knytta til kjønn, sted og utdanning blant etterkommere av innvandere, samt en oppgave om sikkerhet og privacy på internett.

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'.

Prosjektleder (2016-2017) pilotprosjektet 'Flyktningkrisa: forestillinger og erfaringer'. Gjennom å intervjue folk med ulike typer synsvinkel på økningen av asylankomster belyser prosjektet problemstillinger knytta til tilrettelegging og lokaldemokrati, frykt, håp og ambivalens blant både asylsøkere og lokalbefolkningen i områdene rundt norske asylmottak. I samarbeid med Norsk Medborgerpanel samler vi inn data om majoritetsbefolkningens holdninger og handlinger ifm opprettelsen av nye mottak.
Prosjekleder (2013-2017) postdoktorprosjektet "Labour migration in uncertain times: Migration from Spain to Norway"
This project aims to further our understanding of migration between two countries that have been differentially affected by the current European economic crisis by drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and qualitative interviews. The project will focus on two groups of migrants, one defined as "easily employable" or highly skilled and another as "less easily employable" and less skilled. The study has two overarching themes: (1) the extent to which the Norwegian labour market provides protections and opportunities and/or the extent to which it facilitates exploitation of labour migrants; and (2), the roles that class, skill level, gender, ethnicity, and whiteness play in shaping the relationships between the migrants and Norwegian institutions and society. History has shown that economic crises play an important part in workers' decisions to migrate, but the issue of cause is much more complex. A crisis does not necessarily lead to migration. The current project will investigate the impact of structural elements such as unemployment and labour conditions, but also examine migrants' experiences by drawing on socially embedded and transnational perspectives on migration.
