Maja Lilja holds a PhD in sociology and focuses her research on ethnicity, migration, segregation, and climate. In 2015, she successfully defended her dissertation titled "The Best for My Child: Mothers with Small Children in the Divided City," which examined how mothers with small children perceive the upbringing of their children in relation to factors such as ethnicity, class, and gender. Currently (2022–2023), Maja has a postdoctoral position in the strategic research area “Urban Sustainability".
