Introduction
Ameera Masoud holds a PhD from University of Helsinki. The PhD research focuses on examining integration as a concept, policy, practice, and lived experience, which has problematic consequences for people labelled as refugees and immigrants.
Research themes relate to racism, racialization, employability, education, power relations, among others.
In my research, I introduced a new concept which I termed as the ‘integrateable’ refugee and immigrant.

In the article, the authors examine how integration training for im...
