“Physical and Virtual Spaces Among the Palestinian Diaspora in Malmo”

Fanny Christou and Spyros Sofos have just had a chapter published in The Wiley-Blackwell Handbook of Diasporas, Media, and Culture, published in association with the International Association for Media and Communication Research.

Their contribution in the book focuses on the “Physical and Virtual Spaces Among the Palestinian Diaspora in Malmo” and is based on extensive fieldwork in Skåne and elsewhere the authors conducted over a period of several years as well as online ethnographic research. 

Fanny Christou is a CMES-based postdoctoral researcher funded by the French Red Cross, and currently works on projects on the Territorialisation of Political Mobilisation of the Palestinian Diaspora in Sweden and Germany and on  a VR-funded Interdisciplinary Study of Social Cohesion and Resilience in the face of Climate and Environmental Change in Urban Khartoum.

Spyros Sofos is Research Coordinator at CMES and works on issues of identity, conflict and insecurity. He is coordinating a Raoul Wallenberg Institute project on Fostering democratic dialogue and the development of shared horizons among citizens in Turkey and the #RethinkingPopulism openDemocracy project in which CMES is the leading partner.
