Maja Sager is a Senior Lecturer (Docent) in Gender Studies at Lund University, affiliated with the LU Profile Area on Human Rights. Her research focuses on migration, citizenship, and intersectional feminism, analyzing how restrictive migration policies create spaces of irregularity and deportability. She explores migrant rights activism, gendered experiences of exclusion, and the intersection of neoliberalism with racism and sexism.
Her PhD thesis Everyday Clandestinity (2011) examined irregular migrants' experiences in Sweden's welfare state. Recent work includes Contested Boundaries (2012-2015), studying migrant inclusion through activism in Sweden, Denmark, and the UK, and a Swedish Research Council-funded project analyzing courts as arenas for anti-racist struggles (2017-2022).
Teaching areas include postcolonial feminism, migration studies, citizenship theory, and feminist methodology. She co-edits Tidskrift för genusvetenskap and has held research positions at Lancaster University (UK) and Lund University. Her work addresses global inequalities, anti-racist movements, and the epistemologies of activist knowledge production.
