Migration Interview Report
OVERVIEW
For this assessment you will interview a person who has migrated, asking them about their experience after migrating. It is important you maintain confidentiality – see notes under ‘confidentiality’ below.
You will write a report and there is one main question you must respond to :
•(q1) How did your interviewee’s identities shape their experience of migrating?
but in answering this you need to spend a small number of works introducing the
participant by responding to the following:
• What is the broad context in which the person you interview migrated
and finally respond to the following question:
(q3) Can the concept of othering, as used in the Leitner article, be used to
explain the experience of the person you interviewed?
You will submit two document (1) the report/essay (2) the transcript of the interview
Use the following ‘data’ sources:
-Your interview
-a comparison with the experience of your group members (this is essential)
-References
how to do this:
(1) Conduct and then transcribe the interview. The transcription is where you write
down, word-for-word, what was said in the interview. This needs to be at the very least 800 words but might be a lot more than this. You can try using an online transcription site to help with the transcription if you want, for example: otter.ai The transcription needs to be submitted with the report.
(2) Analyse you interview.
What does your participant say in regard to the question of how their identities
shaped their experience of migrating to Australia? How do you analyse this?
