About the seminar

Maja Adolfsson is a PhD candidate in sociology at Umeå University and part of a research project exploring the role of place in young people's political engagement in rural areas. Her research examines how young people in rural areas participate in local groups and how various dimensions of place influence their involvement in societal issues, particularly in the political borderlands. Her research project is co-funded by the non-profit national organization Rural Sweden, the Department of Sociology at Umeå University, and the Industrial Doctoral School at Umeå University.
