研究実績の概要 |
In the fiscal year 2022, the project reached a milestone: The author published a monograph with the title “The EU migrant generation in Asia. Middle-class aspirations in Asian global cities.” The book was published in the series Global Migration and Social Change with Bristol University Press, a series that is well-known among sociologists and migration scholars and which features several titles on Asia-Pacific, including another monograph on Japan. With publication in December 2022, most of the research during the year revolved around the completion of the analysis of the follow-up data collected in Singapore and Japan in 2020 and 2021, and the writing, editing, and discussion of final drafts of the manuscript. While working towards the publication of the book, the author discussed selected findings with experts on migration policy, race and ethnicity in migration, and methodologies in migration studies in several countries. Most importantly, the PI was invited by Prof. Shanshan Lan to a workshop at the University of Amsterdam, where she presented her theorizing on ethnicity and race in skilled migration and whose conference proceedings will include a book chapter in an edited volume (Open Access) with intended publication date in 2024.

2: おおむね順調に進展している
理由
The pandemic has affected mobility even in 2022, which meant that the PI was only able to visit Japan and to discuss her research with experts in the field in January 2023. During this visit, the PI was invited to present her book at two different academic institutions (Waseda University and Temple University Japan Campus) and was also invited to deliver a guest lecture about her research to a Bachelor student seminar in sociology at International Christian University. Since pandemic-related restrictions are meanwhile being lifted in most countries, the researcher expects to present her research outcomes in the fiscal year 2023 at a range of academic institutions and events across Europe and Asia-Pacific.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
The current, final year of the project will be used for disseminating the research findings via additional publications in peer-reviewed journal articles and as chapters in edited volumes, and by presentations at academic conferences, as well as by teaching at the PI’s home institution, the University of Zurich. Next to the above mentioned book chapter, the PI is currently co-authoring two journal articles. Furthermore, the researcher is actively approaching established academic journals in the field seeking reviews of her published monograph as to guarantee wide dissemination of the project findings.

次年度使用額が生じた理由 |
As outlined above, the incurring amount will be needed for two main uses: 1) The dissemination of the research results at academic conferences, workshops and universities, which will involve travel and registration costs. 2) In order to be able to present the research results with visually attractive material the PI needs a reliable and light-weight laptop which she can use while travelling and presenting her research. This was included as part of the incurring costs in the beginning of the project but the researcher’s old laptop was still functioning well at that time. However, the old operation system can no longer be updated for the use of latest software and the battery life is very week, so a new device needs to be purchased.
