معرفی
Lutz Gschwind serves as a Researcher and teacher at Uppsala University's Department of Political Science, focusing on political economy, welfare policy, international migration, and working conditions. He actively contributes to major research infrastructure projects including MIGPOL (a comparative migration policy database) within the Demscore framework and the VoFAME project (Varieties of Attitudes to Family Migration in Europe).
His research employs mixed-methods approaches to investigate welfare sanctions for immigrants, migration policy attitudes, and social protection systems across Europe. Key methodological strengths include conjoint survey experiments, comparative analysis of welfare regimes, and integration of register data with survey methodologies. His work consistently examines how institutional designs in European welfare states affect immigrant integration and social rights.
Recent publications reveal a concentrated research trajectory on migration governance, with particular emphasis on family migration attitudes (2024), methodological challenges in measuring ethnic tolerance (2023), and welfare sanction risks for immigrants in Germany (2022). His 2021 publications established critical frameworks for understanding how unemployment benefit systems exclude immigrants despite appearing generous to native workers.
Gschwind collaborates extensively through Uppsala University's Department of Political Science on projects that bridge migration policy analysis with social protection research. His current roles as MIGPOL data manager and VoFAME researcher demonstrate active engagement in European comparative research infrastructure, contributing to datasets and methodologies that advance migration policy scholarship across multiple institutions.
