Robert Nilsson Mohammadi
Senior Lecturer

I teach at the Department of Child, Youth, and Society (BUS). I am also part of the urban historical milieu at the Institute for Studies in Malmö’s History (IMH). In my research I have in different ways been interested in how historical actors as well as the users of history can be activated in history-writing. In my doctoral dissertation I explored this in the successive depictions of the miners’ strike at the LKAB iron ore mines in northern Sweden 1969–70, but also in oral history interviews with both participants in that strike and with actors in the solidarity movement that formed around the strike. I am currently planning and doing research on youth policy, youth work, and community organizing in Sweden since the 1950s. In another project, I work with the reception of Black Power in Scandinavia, and Scandinavia as an arena for the Black Panther Party. I am part of an international project that in a comparative perspective explores European city’s immigration and integration policies between 1945 and 1970. I am also interested in public history in urban milieus, urban identity, and the narrative formation around the city of Malmö, Sweden.
