How did I end up here? Stories from migrant men

In recent years, Sweden has received large numbers of migrants and refugees and majority of them are men.

This has caused significant public debates, as in the public eyes, the typical migrant is a young, single man and the growing number of male migrants has been one of most vivid concern of the European societies.

Therefore, the main aim of the project is to strengthen communication of newest research findings to the public and increase the level of nuanced knowledge on masculinities, gender attitudes and living conditions of all male migrants in Sweden.

The project aims to present the findings of the ongoing ethnographic research project on single migrant men in the EU entitled "Transnational single men. An ethnography about singleness among migrated men in the European Union" (VR 2018-01476). This will be done in order to combat stereotypes and misinformation regarding single migrant men living in Sweden.

This will be done by following activities: project website maintenance, social media campaign, development of popular science blogposts and podcasts as well as organisation of a storytelling workshop and science theatre.

Consequently, target groups are: Swedish general public, single migrant men that live in Sweden and relevant stakeholders.
