About the exhibition Spatialities of Uppsala’s upper secondary schools
The network Studies on Education, Migration and Segregation (EMS) aims to bring together researchers from different disciplines to theoretically and methodologically deepen and develop new approaches to joint research interests. A theme within the network is about exploring, via fiction and photography, the possibility of finding new angles to the complex reality we study. As part of this work, a collaboration with the photographer Finn Calander (https://www.sawantphotography.com/) was initiated in the spring of 2022 to explore the meeting between science and photography. The collaboration culminated in the exhibition, Spatialities of Uppsala’s upper secondary schools, which portrays Uppsala's upper secondary schools, their architecture and adjacent environments together with students in different contexts. The photographs of the physical environment and students combined with public statistics and sociological analyses, create a picture of different spaces with three dimensions – one physical, one social, and one cultural.

’Peace in Peril? The repolarization of young people’s identity in Northern Ireland’
Abstract
Recent years in Northern Ireland have seen continued sectarianism unfold. This sectarianism has included violence and tension which impacts upon both the social relationships and identities of young people. Communities in which young people dwell continue to be separated along religious/political lines in terms of schooling, housing, symbols and materially through defensive architecture. Northern Ireland has also witnessed a recent ‘brain drain’ of young people through educational migration due to societal push factors, including poor community relations and a faltering devolved government. Ongoing complications connected to Northern Ireland’s position in a post-Brexit world have intermingled additional polarizing political challenges surrounding contested borders and boundaries. These post-Brexit related border issues place an additional layer of complication in an already complex landscape regarding boundaries. In this environment, some young people are moving towards establishing more severe parameters to their own group identity and a corresponding hardening of opinions towards those perceived to be outsiders in other communities. Through fieldwork material obtained via school-based interviews from both sides of the sectarian divide, this seminar will present perceptions of young people in Northern Ireland during this complicated time.
