About Andreas Asplén Lundstedt

Research

Andreas Asplén Lundstedt is Assistant Professor of Public Administration. His research mainly concerns the public governing and regulation of marginalized groups, and the techniques, organizations and institutions developed by and within states for these purposes. His research proceeds from a broad interest in how different arms and levels of the state collaborate, coalesce or compete to exert power within the broad field of social policy. He has a special interest in international migration and has studied the origins of state capacity to govern migration through classification and selection. He often focuses on different techniques to gather and utilize information for purposes of governing, both in central governments, administrative courts and street-level bureaucracies. Lundstedt primarily uses different qualitative methods, and frequently engages in comparative, historical or sociolegal approaches. He has previously been a visiting graduate student at the University of Toronto and worked as a researcher at the Stockholm Centre for Organizational Research (Score) at Stockholm University.

Lundstedt currently participates in two research projects:

  • Social Work as Police Work? Exploring the Interfaces Between Social Policy, Social Workers’ Reporting Practices and Policing Across European Welfare States (funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation, PI Lisa Borrelli)
  • Social Institutions, Political Governance, and Integration of Refugees (funded by the Swedish Research Council, PI Andrea Spehar)
