Jennifer Mack is a researcher at KTH School of Architecture and at the Institute for Housing and Urban Research at Uppsala University. She combines history, ethnography, and formal analysis to study social change and the built environment, with current projects on the landscapes of the Swedish Million Program and the architecture and planning of large new mosques and churches. Drawing on her theory of “urban design from below,” Mack’s recently published book, The Construction of Equality: Syriac Immigration and the Swedish City (University of Minnesota Press), investigates the collision between Swedish design norms and the building projects and spatial practices of one immigrant group. She holds a PhD in architecture, urbanism, and anthropology from Harvard University, an MArch and MCP from MIT, and a BA from Wesleyan University.
