DESCRIPTION:Un-welcome to Denmark: The Paradigm Shift and Refugee Integrat
 ion examines how Denmark’s increasingly restrictive migration policies h
 ave reshaped the lived experience of refugees and the country’s approach
  to integration. The book traces the political and ideological forces behi
 nd the so-called “paradigm shift”\, exploring how policy\, public disc
 ourse\, and bureaucratic practice have combined to create a system that of
 ten prioritises deterrence over inclusion. Through analysis\, testimony\, 
 and contextual insight\, it highlights the social\, psychological\, and de
 mocratic consequences of a regime that has become markedly harsher in rece
 nt years and one that serves as a “model” for others to emulate. In th
 is talk\, I will offer a critical reflection on what it means to seek refu
 ge in a country that simultaneously promises protection and cultivates un-
 welcomeness.\n\nAbout the speaker:\nMichelle Pace is Professor in Global S
