#EDUSELundsUniversitetSimaWolgast: "it should also be noted that the term 'race' in the present study is understood as the result of socially embedded processes of racialization (Miles 1993). In Sweden, where the present study was conducted, the concept of 'race' however is very rarely used and often seen as controversial in Swedish public discourse. In fact, with reference to the history of racial biology and eugenics, the concept of race is officially avoided and discarded (SOU 2015: 103). Instead, concepts like 'migrants,' 'migrant background' or 'ethnicity' are used as proxies for race in Swedish public discourse (Bredström & Mulinari 2022; Mattsson 2005). Despite this, these proxy terms are closely tied to an implicit notion of 'race,' and 'Swedishness' is intimately tied to racialized 'whiteness' (Hübinette & Lundström 2014; Mattsson 2005; Neergaard & Mulinari 2017)."
