Biography

Heidi Vad Jønsson is an Associate Professor at the University of Southern Denmark, focusing on immigration, integration, and welfare states, particularly in Denmark and Scandinavia. Her research utilizes a multifaceted approach to examine integration policy developments, providing crucial insights into the migration-welfare nexus and political decision-making processes within Nordic welfare states. She has contributed to the field of refugee studies through empirical and historiographical work, specifically addressing the Nordic context. Jønsson pioneered studies on statistical categorization processes within Danish and Nordic welfare states, illuminating the intricate mechanisms that influence classifications. Her future research aims to investigate refugees' access to welfare systems and the states' response to refugee crises. By examining how states react to such crises, she seeks to uncover the dynamic interplay between humanitarian obligations and political pressures, which presents both challenges and opportunities to the welfare states during these times of crisis.
