Vice Director
SegerstedtinstitutetAbout Robin Andersson Malmros
Ph.D. in Public Administration, Deputy Director of the Segerstedt Institute & University Lecturer at the Academy of Police Work, University of Borås
Research Interests:
- Prevention of terrorism, violent extremism, and radicalization
- Antisemitism and prevention of antisemitism
- Organization, management, and neoinstitutional theory
- Collaboration as a phenomenon and process
Ongoing Research Projects:
- Policing radicalization. Principal Investigator. Funded by Forte. SEK 2.7 million, 2024-2026. In Sweden, there is a lack of research on how police employees understand radicalization as a phenomenon and how they work with the assessment and handling of potentially radicalized individuals. Against this background, this study will explore the following questions: How do police employees describe radicalization as a phenomenon and what knowledge sources do their understanding rely on? What processes, tools, and methods are used in connection with assessment work and handling of suspected radicalized individuals, and how do police employees perceive their suitability and effectiveness?
- Pedagogical Experiences of and Strategies for Handling Antisemitism in Schools. Funded by the Swedish Research Council. SEK 6 million, 2024-2027. The project investigates how school staff (administration, student health, teachers) and students talk about and express their understanding and experiences of antisemitism. The purpose is also to contribute knowledge to develop pedagogical strategies aimed at handling and countering antisemitism and promoting trustful relationships between students and the surrounding society by studying how school staff and students talk about and express experiences of how antisemitism is addressed.
Previous Research Projects:
- Antisemitism in Sweden after October 7. Project Leader. Funded by the Ministry of Education, Segerstedt Institute, and the Swedish Research Council. SEK 2 million, 2024. This study constituted the first empirical research study on how antisemitism has been experienced by and affected Jews in Sweden and manifested in traditional media, social media, and other societal arenas since Hamas's terror attack on October 7, 2023, and the subsequent war in Gaza.
- Nordic Multiagency Approaches to Handling Extremism: Policies, Perceptions, and Practices. Funded by Nordforsk. SEK 10 million, 2018-2021. The project is led by Tore Bjørgo, Oslo University. The project studies collaborative work in combating violent extremism in Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden.
- Pan-Nordic and Transnational Dimensions of Nordic Right-Wing Extremism. Project Leader. Funded by the Nordic Council of Ministers. SEK 1.5 million, 2019-2022. The project highlights historical and contemporary research on the transnational organization of violent right-wing extremism.
- Mapping Municipal Action Plans to Counter Violent Extremism. Funded by the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions. SEK 150,000, 2016-2017. The study analyzes 127 municipal action plans against violent extremism.
The Segerstedt Institute
I work as the Deputy Director at the Segerstedt Institute - a national resource center aimed at disseminating knowledge and methods to prevent joining violent environments and organizations (www.segerstedtinstitutet.gu.se). In addition to research, I support the director in organizing the institute's activities.
University Lecturer at the Academy of Police Work, University of Borås
I teach and examine students in criminology, international police work, and scientific studies. I also lead the course "Radicalization and Society's Countermeasures" (7.5 credits). The course is commissioned by the Swedish Police Authority, and the students are police and security police employees working with terrorism, extremism, or radicalization.
