Biography

Emma Lundholm is a university lecturer and associate professor in cultural geography. Her research primarily focuses on regional migrations within Sweden, family networks, and counter-urbanization. Lundholm's work involves studying the dynamics of migration, particularly a project centered on families with children relocating from urban areas. She has a keen interest in the significance of family networks in decisions to move or stay, as well as how these networks evolve over time due to migration. Her research is based on registry data and surveys, allowing her to analyze the extent of migration flows and the socio-economic and demographic characteristics of movers. Through surveys, she gathers insights on how movers perceive their motivations and the consequences of their decisions. Lundholm instructs in population geography within both the undergraduate urban planning program and various master's programs at her institution.
