Biography

Jenny Ingridsdotter holds a PhD in ethnology and works as an associate professor at Umeå University. Her research typically engages with issues concerning people's power, with a particular focus on migration studies and colonial history. She has been involved in significant research projects such as 'Settlement Dispossession Entangled: Swedish Migration Argentina, Brazil Bolivia', which examines Swedish migration to Latin America in the early 1900s, and 'Migration Settler Colonialism: Makings Heritage Swedish Descendants Argentina', which investigates how Swedish-Argentine cultural identity and heritage are constructed and understood in the context of settler colonialism. Her doctoral thesis, 'The Promises Free World: Postsocialist Experience Argentina Making Migrants, Race, Coloniality', explores the narrated experiences of individuals who migrated to Argentina from Russia and Ukraine following the fall of the Soviet Union, focusing on their navigation of social realities and self-identifications in Argentine society.
