However, those who succeed have an easier time navigating society, the political rhetoric in Denmark and the increasing requirements to obtain a residence permit in the host country.

Last Thursday, I defended my PhD and it was an amazing experience 💐 I am proud and very grateful! I can’t wait to continue working with the ideas and knowledge that have come out of this PhD.
The dissertation focuses on the role of friendships with the ethnic majority for immigrants integration 🧵
Tomorrow at noon, I'll present my ongoing work at the Migration & Ethnicity Workshop here at PolSci in Aarhus. Join us if you are in town!

Besides writing a lot, I got the opportunity to present my work to different audiences, and to meet with talented scholars to discuss my work. I’m very grateful!

Shortly before Christmas, my research stay at UC Berkeley came to an end. I already miss the vibrant campus, and not least the Californian weather! Thanks to Prof. Irene Bloemraad, IES and the Berkeley Interdisciplinary Migration Initiative for making it a rewarding and memorable stay.
