Abstract

This on-going research focuses on the experiences of highly educated young migrants who moved to Berlin from Turkey in the last few years. These young people, who left their country mainly for cultural and political reasons (more so than for economic ones), are coming to Berlin with certain expectations (and often with a critical mind). However when moving to Berlin, they are also moving into a history of migration. This history of Turkish migration to Germany, and the existence of a big Turkish community in Berlin both facilitate and complicate their move. My research aims to investigate the ways in which these high skilled Turkish – and Kurdish – migrants position themselves within Berlin’s multi-layered geographies of identity, which is shaped by promises of freedom and inclusion, but also of established stigma, prejudices and invisible borders. I am interested in how their own multi-leveled identities (ethnicity, gender/sexuality, class/status) affect their experiences, and affected by them. In this particular session, I aim to discuss my use of qualitative methods and specific challenges of insider research, as well as certain themes that are emerging in the first round of data analysis.
