- This paper responds to calls for studies of student migrant experiences and the institutional actors that are involved in international student migration. In particular, we examine the ways in which institutional actors can influence student motivations and experiences through a case study of the Norwegian Quota Scheme. We discuss three main findings. First, institutions play a significant role in determining who migrates and the reasons for migration while shaping the academic experience and future migration plans of international students. Second, state-funded international student migration programmes constrain the future plans of recipients, reflecting potential differences in decision-making among state-funded and self-financed students. Third, international students - as both students and migrants - undergo significant personal growth during the course of their studies. This complicates state goals to return or retain student migrants, as the ambitions of students are likely to change concomitant with their personal development.

- This paper investigates how tour guides position themselves in Vietnam's transition from a command economy to market socialism. The case study of the Dalat Easy Riders motorcycle guides demonstrates that tour guides take advantage of, personify and contribute to the economic, political and social transitions in the country. Relatedly, we argue that Vietnam's transition (known as d?i m?i) is a key component of the Easy Riders' promotional narratives. In sum, we analyse how tour guides become tourist products in a transitional society.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Contestations over immigration, citizenship, and belonging play out every day in urban public space. In this article we study the design processes and use of two Copenhagen parks, Superkilen and Mimersparken, to explore the creation of public space and the “public” in Denmark. Who is part of the Danish “public”? What right do immigrant residents have to shape public space and their neighborhoods? How are the boundaries of Danish national identity policed and contested in public space in Copenhagen? The Danish government has increasingly moved toward far-right anti-immigrant stances, even while Copenhagen promotes a multicultural vision of a diverse and cosmopolitan city. Superkilen and Mimersparken illustrate the shortcomings of Copenhagen’s multiculturalism: though Copenhagen celebrates immigration, it left little space for residents to make meaningful decisions as political actors. In the case of Superkilen and Mimersparken, designers’ stylized idea of immigration is more celebrated than the actual presence of immigrant residents.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A strenuous hike up Kolsas Mountain on a Saturday afternoon in June 2013. Six hikers navigate a steep trail while discussing their experiences in Norway, ranging from living arrangements to favorite hiking trails and the weather in Oslo. The top of the mountain provides a stunning view of the Oslofjord and surrounding farmland. A ferry starts its journey to Copenhagen while a plane makes its way to Gardermoen international airport. The group eats lunch, poses for pictures, and heads to a second mountaintop. The hike is organized by an Indian IT specialist for Norway International Network (NIN), a social organization for expats and Norwegians. The hike is attended by two IT specialists from Poland and Norway, a Russian doctoral student and two academics who work in the United States. Tuesday night, 6 p.m. at Thon Hotel Opera in downtown Oslo. Approximately 20 women participate in a networking event with gazpacho, risotto, and wraps, followed by a presentation on Internet banking and electronic money transfers. The attendees learn about the intricacies of the Norwegian banking system, and members ask questions about Internet security and transferring money between international bank accounts. After the presentation, the attendees retreat to the hotel bar to discuss the presentation, adjustment difficulties in Oslo, job searches, and career changes. This event was organized by the Association of International Professional and Business Women (AIPBW). A Monday night in October 2012 in an apartment behind Oslo's royal palace. Attendees pay NOK 100 (approximately US$ 15) at the door and place their business card in a transparent nametag holder. They take off their shoes, place a bottle on the kitchen counter, and proceed to the spacious living room. Approximately 25 attendees mingle and nibble on snacks until the Tertulia event commences. 1 The event consists of two short presentations on the public relations industry in Norway and the Oslo Global Mobility Forum, a conference that promotes international talent mobility to Norway. The presenters and attendees discuss the meaning of 'global' in global talent recruitment, and the conversations continue until late at night. The Oslo International Club can look back at a lively event.

Socio-Cultural Incorporation of Skilled Migrants at Work : Employer and Migrant Perspectives

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Migration studies have predominantly investigated the socio-cultural incorporation of low-skilled migrants and refugees, fuelled by concerns that these migrants may pose a burden on the state and a threat to social cohesion. Few studies have investigated the socio-cultural incorporation of skilled migrants, perhaps assuming that they will fare well in a country of destination. Using the petroleum industry in Norway as a case study, this article examines the workplace as a key site of transmission of norms and values of the host society. We investigate firm initiatives for the socio-cultural incorporation of skilled migrants and analyse the challenges that these workers experience in the workplace. We then discuss the roles of non-state actors in the incorporation process and offer suggestions that may enhance the socio-cultural incorporation of skilled migrants into the host society.
