CMES Research Seminar: Borderization of Palestine

Nina Gren is a senior lecturer at the Department of Social Anthropology at Lund University. She has previously worked as a researcher and teacher at CMES. Her research is mainly found within the anthropology of migration and she is especially interested in refugees and diasporic practices. She is also interested in social memory, gender and home in relation to violent political conflict and flight. Her most recent research focused on urban gardening and its attempts to create social cohesion locally. Nina holds a PhD in Social Anthropology from the University of Gothenburg. Her doctoral thesis from 2009 builds on a one-year ethnographic fieldwork in a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank. In short, the thesis dealt with the many ways that the camp inhabitants tried to maintain continuity, morality and a normal order despite repeated emergencies during the second intifada. She has also done research about Danes and Swedes with a Palestinian background and their diasporic practices, while being a post doc at the Department of Anthropology, University of Copenhagen. In addition, she has carried out fieldwork in UN-run schools for Palestinian refugee children, focusing on processes of gendered identity formations and has studied the encounters between newly arrived Palestinian refugees and staff at the Swedish Public Employment Service.
