ASA Conference - The Interview - theory, practice, society is arranged in Belfast 13-16 april by Dr Jonathan Skinner (QUB) and Dr Dominic Bryan (QUB). The focus of this ASA conference will be upon the interview and its connections with social anthropology: " We feel that this critical and most basic of elements in fieldwork and the production of ethnography merits careful theoretical, methodological and textual/ethnographic consideration. We should like to host such an inquiry at the Queen’s University Belfast where there are academics with specialist interests in the interview in Anthropology, History, Psychology and Sociology; and in interviewing circumstances in Northern Ireland and on the borders."

Linda Marie Dyrlid started her PhD project at NTNU in november 2008. The research will focus on the experience of polish migrant workers. It will focus on how male and female migrants negotiate and manage identities within the different stages of the migration process, with the work place as the most central arena. Another focal point will be the family situation, the nature of contact with the country of origin, and how the work experience in Norway and Scotland is perceived after returning to Poland. Field work will be carried out among Polish migrant workers in Norway and Scotland, and among migrants who have returned to Poland. By applying a life history approach to interviews with Polish migrants, one will be able to identify critical phases in their careers where important choices/decisions were made.
