Transnational perspectives on discrimination, well-being and mobility
Migration Department
Project head: Dr. Ramona Rischke , Dr. Zeynep Yanaşmayan
The project investigates the experiences of discrimination of Syrians, Afghans and members of the host society in Turkey and Lebanon, two main host countries for Syrian refugees, where the latter are increasingly exposed to negative public discourses and hostility. Building on recently collected quantitative primary and other secondary data, as well as in-depth qualitative data collection, we elaborate intersectional patterns of discrimination and analyse how experiences of discrimination differ in both countries and for different populations, and how experiences of discrimination affect well-being and mobility aspirations. Through this multi-level comparison, we will be able to identify context-specific and changing hierarchies of 'good' and 'bad' migrants, linked for example to country of origin, gender and class.
