Experiences of ethnic discrimination in contact with the social services

This dissertation project identifies how ethnic discrimination in contact with the social service is experienced, understood, managed and prevented. With the help of intersectional perspectives, a part of the aim of the research project is to identify and analyse the ways in which ethnic discrimination and other grounds of discrimination overlap. This includes identifying and analyzing which specific processes and practices in contact with the social services shape experiences of ethnic discrimination; the action strategies clients develop; and to identify and analyse how discrimination is understood and handled by social workers within the social services.
