Ženske z visokošolsko izobrazbo z izkušnjo migracij : doktorska disertacija

Verderber, Sara (avtor), Švab, Alenka (mentor)

Pričujoča doktorska disertacija se osredotoča na temo migrantk z visokošolsko izobrazbo in temelji na težnji po razumevanju njihovega položaja v družbah, v katere so migrirale. Izhodišče disertacije je kvalitativna empirična raziskava, katere namen je bil raziskati realna življenjska izkustva migrantk v procesu migracije, predvsem v postmigracijski fazi integracije, je potekala v letih od 2015 do 2018 v Sloveniji, na Nizozemskem (Amsterdam) in v Nemčiji (Berlin) ter obsega skupaj 36 intervjujev. V vzorec so bile vključene migrantke, ki so imigrirale z že doseženo visokošolsko diplomo ali več in so v državi imigracije živele vsaj eno leto. Raziskava je omogočila podroben in intimen vpogled v položaj žensk z visokošolsko izobrazbo, ki imajo izkušnje z migracijami. Natančno smo osvetlili njihova vsakdanja življenja v postmigracijski fazi, in sicer z njihove perspektive. Ugotovili smo, da so migrantke v migracijskem procesu podvržene številnim eksistenčnim krizam, tako osebnim kot ekonomskim, kar po raziskavi sodeč vpliva na duševno zdravje in s tem na uspešnost integracije. Glede na raziskavo so najpogostejše ovire za uspešno integracijo znanje jezika, birokratske omejitve, socialna izključenost in brezposelnost oziroma nezmožnost umestitve lastne profesionalne identitete v novo okolje. Rezultati kažejo na prepletanje osebnih, družbenopolitičnih, strukturnih in ekonomskih izkušenj, strnjenih v štiri kode oziroma teoretske parametre, v štiri tipične situacije, ki opisujejo položaj žensk z visokošolsko izobrazbo in izkušnjami migracij ter s tem vpeljujejo izhodišče za nov družbeni razred – ekspatriat. Te so: (a) integracijski proces, (b) profesionalna identiteta, (c) samopercepcija in (d) vsakdanje življenje. Pri tem smo se uprli na teorije družbenega razreda po Webru, Bourdieuju in Standingu, vključno z Bourdieujevo teorijo kapitalov. Z uvedbo novega družbenega razreda, ki izhaja iz stališč in izkustev visokoizobraženih migrantk, uvedemo izhodišča za nadaljnje raziskovanje intersekcije izkustva (mikroravni) in družbenopolitičnih pogojev (makroravni) v migracijskih študijah in obenem pripomoremo k vzpostavljanju pogojev za opolnomočenje, strokovne in strukturne oblike pomoči migrantkam.

This dissertation addresses the topic of highly educated migrant women and is based on an attempt to understand their situation in the societies into which they have immigrated. The dissertation is based on qualitative empirical research that aims to investigate their experiences in the post-migration phase. The research took place between 2015 and 2018 in Slovenia, the Netherlands (Amsterdam) and Germany (Berlin), comprising 36 interviews. The sample included migrant women who had immigrated with a university degree or more and had been living in the country of immigration for at least one year. The dissertation examined their everyday lives in the post-migration phase from their perspective. It showed that migrant women face many existential crises during the migration process, both personal and economic, which, according to the study, affects their mental health and thus the success of their integration. Common obstacles to successful integration include language skills, bureaucratic obstacles, social exclusion and unemployment or the inability to continue one's professional identity in a new environment. The results show an interplay of personal, socio-political, structural and economic experiences, summarised in four codes or theoretical parameters that describe the situation of migrant women with higher education in four typical situations, and thus form the starting point for a new social class - the expatriate. These are: (a)integration process, (b)professional identity, (c)self-concept and (d)everyday life and were supported by the application of Weber's, Bourdieu's and Standing's theories of social class, including Bourdieu's theory of capital. By introducing a new social class based on the views and experiences of highly educated migrant women, a starting point is created for further exploration of the intersection of experiences (micro-level) and socio-political conditions (macro-level) in migration research. Forming a new social class in practice helps create the conditions for empowering, professional, and structural support for migrant women.
