Youth’s urban everyday peace

Anna Sofia Suoranta’s PhD project explores youth’s everyday peace in diverse urban environments in Malmö, Sweden and Helsinki, Finland.

The aim of the PhD project is to investigate through ethnographic methods, participant observation and interviews, how youth negotiate differences, build meaningful relationships and navigate their everyday life. The project builds upon the notion that peace is action.

The fieldwork takes place in diverse neighbourhoods of Malmö and Helsinki. This PhD project is located under the EmergentCommunity project.
