Somali Diaspora Mobilization in a multi-sited and long-term perspective

This project examines processes of diaspora mobilization among Somali refugees in Denmark and more generally in Western countries. It has particular focus on development and humanitarian engagement, associational involvement and the relationship between recognition and inclusion in Danish society, the wider diaspora, and the area of origin. Another theme concerns gender and family relations, belonging and identification, and mobility practices. The project is based on long-term and multi-sited material in Denmark, Sweden, UK and Somaliland since 2003.
