Maja Cederberg is currently at the final stages of writing up her doctoral thesis in Cultural Studies for the Nottingham Trent University. Her thesis is about gender, ethnicity, racism and discrimination in a contemporary Swedish context, issues she explores largely through biographical interviews with migrants, specifically Bosnian and Somali refugees that came to Sweden in the early 1990s.

She has recently finished work on a research project on institutional racism in the Swedish judicial system, commissioned by the Swedish government; this report will be published in spring 2005.

Her main areas of interest and expertise are migration; gender and ethnicity; racism and discrimination; international perspectives on ethnicity and racism; gender and ethnicity in Sweden; research methods, particularly narrative interviews and analysis.
