| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This project takes ‘bottom-up’ approach to examine dual citizenship claims based on in-depth interviews with marriage immigrants from the Philippines and Vietnam who are residing in South Korea. I aimed to suggest a more nuanced picture of how individuals understand and respond to dual citizenship opportunities on the ground within the particular context of marriage migration and stratified nationalities. Based on in-depth interviews with 45 marriage migrant women from the Philippines (35 women) and Vietnam (10 women) residing in urban and rural areas of Korea, I examined the dual citizenship claims-making of marriage migrant women in Korea, focusing on why and how these women engage (or do not engage) in claims-making.
