Outline of Final Research Achievements

During the course of this project, we have collected the following: 143 full length interviews, between 90 and 200 minutes each; more than 300 hours of digital video footage of the interviews; more than 4250 pages of transcripts with more than 2 million words.
We have already produced one of the largest first-person oral history narratives of refugees in Japan that we know of and there has been thousands of hits already. This thus achieves one of the primary goals of our initial proposal which was to disseminate information beyond the narrow confines of academic community and reach directly into the stakeholders who are in Japan and abroad.With this data we have been making presentations to schools and community groups, groups of academics and scholars here in Japan and those who are coming through Japan from foreign countries.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

私たちのデータは、日本における難民の口語に基づく初めてのものである。 オープンアクセスによる普及方法は、すべてのステークホルダーを体系的に巻き込むものである。日本の難民に関するエスノグラフィー・グラフィック・インタビューの内容は、日本の少数民族研究者や難民研究者にとって興味深いものであるが、コヴィッド中のインタビューによって私たちに強いられた方法論の革新は、直接的な難民の文脈を超えて、世界中の研究者が異なる形で共有するコヴィッド条件への興味となるであろう
