Conducting field research abroad - A socioanthropological approach.
- Authors
Delcroix, Catherine; Pape, Elise
- Abstract
Departing from two research projects, one on the familial, social and political roles o women from different social background in Algeria, and the other on the transmission of educational practices in families with Moroccan origins in France and Germany, this article discusses the effects of conducting field research abroad in migration research. After having reflected the process of socialization in research, and how it may lead to doing socio-anthropological research in a foreign country, it presents methodological and theoretical implication of conducting field research abroad. The impact of this approach on the relationship between the interviewer and interviewee and its effects on theorization, as well as the way the socio-anthropological approach may complement biographical interviews and reveal phenomena of social stratification are considered. This article shows that socio-anthropological research abroad is particularly well suited for transnational migration research and to develop a perspective which combines the "here" with the "there."
