Biography

Morten Baarvig Thomsen is a PhD Fellow in History at the University of Southern Denmark, where he focuses on Danish global refugee migration history. His thesis investigates the experiences of 34,000 non-German refugees, known as Allied Displaced Persons, who resided in Danish refugee camps from 1945 to 1953. He explores the agency and rights of these refugees as well as their interactions with the Danish refugee care system and its employees. His research employs theories from street-level bureaucracy and incorporates interdisciplinary discussions with insights from refugee and migrant studies. Morten has a strong interest in minority history, having previously worked in the fields of Holocaust studies and gender history, alongside a growing interest in the history of charity and humanitarianism.
