Reading & Speaking

My colleague in poetry, Elena Dahl, and me giving the lyrical programme Without a Space-suit, assisted by the fiddle player Björn Eriksson, at the Poets' Parliament in Stockholm.

There have been other readings at various Stockholm stages, among others the Rinkeby book fair, the Stockholm social forum or the Stockholm pride festival. Some themes were: Freedom of Speech, Greetings from Astrid and Selma, Life and Art, A European town, To Extremity and Intimacy

Over the years I've become something like a travelling salesperson on antiracism and social inclusion, as I was a member of the stately investigation that to a great extent shaped the present national policy of integration in Sweden. I've been responsible for these matters professionally as well as politically, and some international lectures and seminars that I've given are:
- Evasion, collision or meeting? strategies for intercultural education, Lahti -96
- Organizing life in a multicultural village, Zürich -97
- Metropolis: Successful strategies in the schools of Rinkeby, Washington DC -99
- Urban development for integration, Bern -00
- Metropolis: Local strategies of urban development politics, Vancouver -00
- Integration, theory and practice, Södertörn university college, -02
- Metropolis: workshop on the dissemination of knowledge, Wien -03
