How Swedish immigration rules fuel 'chronic anxiety' for foreign researchers
Manage episode 483266851 series 2943987
In this week's episode we talk about why Stockholm is at loggerheads with the US Embassy over anti-diversity demands and we examine a scathing new report on how Sweden’s immigration policies are harming foreign researchers.
For Membership+ subscribers we look at the ongoing saga of Sweden’s failed attempt to appoint a national security advisor after the latest pick for the job stepped down within hours over leaked photos from the Grindr app.
We also have more from last week’s interview with the migration minister, Johan Forssell, and we look into why the Migration Agency rejected an unusually high number of citizenships applications in April.
Host Paul O'Mahony is joined this week by regular panelists Becky Waterton and James Savage.
Here are links to some of the topics discussed in the episode:
Environment
Sweden and the US
- Stockholm v Trump: 'If US embassy wanted a building permit, they would have a problem'
- 'Completely bizarre': Stockholm hits back at US embassy's anti-DEI contract
Studying in Sweden
- Sweden's university union slams 'exploitative' migration policy
- Five things Sweden should do to attract foreign researchers
