Eva Andersson is a Professor at Stockholm University within the Department of Human Geography. Her research focuses on urban and social geography, residential and school segregation, neighborhood effects, life course analysis, migration patterns, and elderly housing. She employs Swedish register data combined with spatial analysis methods to investigate how residential contexts influence socioeconomic outcomes.
- Current research projects include Migrant Trajectories (2019-2024), exploring migrant life courses across five domains.
- Lyckliga gatan examines spatial polarization and social cohesion in Sweden.
- Socio-spatial stratification analyzes housing tenure trajectories across 21 years.
Her work demonstrates that neighborhood context at multiple scales affects educational attainment, income trajectories, and family formation. She finds stronger microscale effects on education and macroscale impacts on income, with Sweden showing less segregation than the Netherlands. Schools in 75% of municipalities successfully mix students from diverse backgrounds, though performance gaps correlate with socioeconomic peer groups.
She teaches urban social geography at both undergraduate and graduate levels, supervises doctoral students, and contributes methodological innovations through individualized neighborhood analysis. Her housing research reveals increasing homeownership trends in Sweden and age-related shifts toward central urban housing for elderly populations.
