Process Of Forced Migration Research Articles

FORCED MIGRATION AND ITS IMPACT ON THE LABOUR MARKET

The purpose of this article is to study the process of forced migration and transformations in the labour market of Ukraine related to the displacement of the population during a full-scale war. The main objective is to analyse the dynamics of migration processes and identify the main priorities in choosing countries for migration. Methodology. The work involves secondary analysis of a wide range of data, including surveys conducted by Gradus Research, research by the Democratic Initiatives Foundation and the Kyiv International Institute of Sociology, statistics from UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), analysis of data from the Civil Network OPORA and other sources. Practical implementation. The results of the study provide up-to-date information on the current state of migration processes in Ukraine. In addition, it considers the possibilities of socio-economic integration and adaptation of migrants in new conditions abroad. Value/Originality. The article presents up-to-date data on the number of migrants in recent years and their willingness to return to Ukraine, and identifies the main challenges faced by Ukrainian migrants. The author analyses the professions in which Ukrainians are most often employed abroad, which helps to understand the peculiarities and needs of the foreign labour market. Potential challenges arising from forced migration are discussed: language barrier, bureaucratic hurdles in document verification, and cultural differences. Additionally, the publication analyses the prospects for the development of migration processes in the future and possible ways to overcome potential challenges through political (e.g., the Draft Law "On Dual Citizenship" submitted by the President of Ukraine on January 22, 2024), economic and social measures.

Emigration from Ukraine to Germany in the Context of the Russian-Ukrainian War

A new topic is submitted in the article, namely the study of changes in the social structure of modern Ukrainian society, in particular, forced migration processes in Ukraine and abroad, caused by the active phase of the Russian-Ukrainian war started on February 24, 2022. The adaptation mechanisms in Germany, where the second in number largest group of the forced migrants stay are considered in the work. The main issues include granting a residence permit in Germany with refugee status, state support, housing, material and medical assistance, educational services, employment, etc. Also the activities of Ukrainian public organizations in FRG, in particular diplomatic, confessional, volunteer, scouting, etc. are described. The paper is aimed at the conducting an analytical ethnological study of socio-cultural aspects, systematization of the statistical data on the emigration of the population from Ukraine to Germany from various sources (scientific literature, Internet resources, mass media, own field notes and illustrative materials from the participants of these processes, etc.). The main researcher’s attention is paid to the adaptation period of the war refugees, their adjustment to the new realities of life in Germany and the negative consequences of migration processes for Ukraine, both demographic, economic and ethnopolitical, ethnocultural. The emigration problem is extremely important and sensitive for modern society, requiring constant statistical updates, analysis and generalisation, therefore its relevance is obvious and timely. The general scientific methods and special ethnological ones are used in the study: system analysis, synthesis, induction, deduction, classification (to reveal the subject of the article, structure it and summarise information in a single semantic wholeness). Interviews and audio recording of field material are used among the special methods (to replenish the factual base and clarify the current state of the problem). The method of critical discourse analysis has been used to analyse the interview texts. It provides the most complete picture of the migrant’s condition and adaptation in foreign and unusual surroundings. The scientific novelty of the submitted topic lies in the generalised analysis of statistical and demographic data on the scale of forced emigration of Ukrainians, which has and will continue to have a negative impact on the gene pool of our country.

A gendered analysis of Palestinian refugee women’s experiences of migration from Syria to Türkiye

After the outbreak of the conflict in 2011, millions of people fled Syria across its borders. This gave way to a new category of people, “Syrian refugees.” While this categorical understanding constitutes the basis for legal entitlements, it homogenizes all fleeing Syria and results in concealing the differential experiences and vulnerabilities of particular groups. The paper challenges this blanket categorization by focusing on the migration experiences of Palestinian women from Syria to Türkiye around the concepts of biological and social reproduction which represent the largely neglected aspects concerning the process of forced migration. By drawing on six women’s experiences, the paper concludes that the homogeneity of the Syrian migrants is an illusion; women’s migrations are shaped through their gendered and ethnic history; and women face gender-specific challenges and opportunities in both home and host countries. We particularly argue that policies on border control and migrant’s integration fail to consider the subjective conditions and needs of particular groups within the Syrian migrants.

Forecasting Ukrainian Refugee Flows With Organic Data Sources

Although European countries seek to understand the volume and destinations of forced migrant flows out of Ukraine, it is difficult to collect timely data for many reasons including dangerous conditions for on-the-ground survey data collection. This article combines different organic data to predict forced migration from Ukraine to five neighboring countries receiving refugees: Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Moldova, and Hungary. We pair online Ukrainian-language Twitter conversation with event and fatality data from Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project and to develop predictive models of forced displacement, and assess the quality of our predictions using United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) border crossing data. Using a Bayesian hierarchical approach that accounts for heterogeneity in the forced migration process and fine temporal granularity of the data, results suggest that, after an initial rise in out-migration at the start of the conflict, migrant flows persist albeit at lower rates. In addition, countries with the highest initial volume of migrant arrivals have higher rates of prolonged flows. Finally, in terms of prediction quality, Twitter variables were more important predictors in the first phase of the conflict while event-based predictors were more important in the second phase.

The main problems of state management of forced migration in Russia: administrative and legal aspect

The object of this work is the social relations developing in the field of forced migration. The subject of this work is social relations formed in connection with the implementation of public administration in the field of forced migration. The purpose of the work is to develop proposals and recommendations for improving the current legislation in the field of forced migration The methodology of the work is determined by the specifics of the issues under consideration. The methods of analysis and synthesis were used in the analysis of state-legal and social phenomena in the field of forced migration, statistical methods for establishing patterns and analyzing the dynamics of the development of state-legal institutions over time, deduction and induction, as well as formal legal methods in the formulation of conclusions and proposals. The main aim of the study is to identify the basic problems of public administration in the field of forced migration associated with the lack of signs of consistency in the activities of state bodies in the field of forced migration. In particular, this is manifested in the insufficient implementation of the functions of adaptation and integration of forced migrants. Attention is also paid to the complexity of administrative procedures and the declining social non-demand for refugee status. A special contribution of the author is a comprehensive consideration of the problems of forced migration both through the prism of state and public interests, and in the context of the interests of forced migrants. The novelty of the research lies in the analysis of forced migration processes through the prism of potential partnership relations between the state, society and forced migrants, focusing on the issues of social adaptation and integration of forced migrants as a necessary condition for their social integration and the prevention of crime in their environment.

German-Jewish Scholars in Turkish Exile: From the Winter of Despair under Nazism to the Spring of Hope in Turkish Academia

This paper documents the migration experiences of German-Jewish scholars who fled from the Nazi regime and sought refuge in Turkey in 1930s. Reflecting on the historical narratives originating from the memoirs of renowned scientists, their relatives, or their Turkish colleagues –e.g., a 1986 interview with renowned economist Fritz Neumark, memoirs of Klaus Eckstein --son of famous pediatrician and public health expert Albert Eckstein-- and narratives of colleagues of influential chemist Fritz Arndt, we analyze the dynamics of forced migration processes of German-Jewish scholars, which is a highly qualified and influential immigrant group, to scrutinize the factors affecting their psychosocial adaptation processes in Turkey. The method of qualitative document analysis is used and deductive approach is adopted. Results reveal that premigration expectations, perceived cultural distance, language, intergroup relations and children-related issues were the main themes affecting the adaptation of German-Jewish scholars. Results are discussed drawing on the acculturation theory.

Forced Migrant: The Factors Contributing to Social Functionality of Syrian Youth

Forced migrants face many problems during the forced migration process. At the forefront of these problems is the negative impact of the forced migration process on their social functionality. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors contributing to the social functionality of Syrian youth under temporary protection status in Turkey. The sample of the study consisted of 326 young Syrian forced migrants aged 18 to 29 who are under temporary protection status in Turkey and was conducted in Istanbul, Sakarya, and Izmir. The study was carried out with the quantitative method and snowball sampling. The obtained data were evaluated by correlation, mediator and moderator analysis methods. According to the data obtained in the study, Perceived social support and satisfaction with life have a significant effect on social functionality. Satisfaction with life has a full mediating effect on the effect of perceived social support on social functionality. In other words, as a Syrian youth's perceived social support grows, so does their social functionality, and satisfaction with life has a full mediating positive effect on this relationship. Planning activity, which is an active coping strategy, has a positive moderating effect on the connection between perceived social support and social functionality, according to this model. In this context, social work practice with a multidimensional community is recommended.

ASYLUM SEEKER AND REFUGEE PROBLEM: THE CASE OF ARAKAN MUSLIMS

Günümüzde yaşanan zorunlu göç sürecinde, sığınmacı, mülteci ve ülke içinde yerinden edilmiş kişilerin 70 milyonu aştığı dünyamızda birçok farklı sorun ortaya çıkmış ve halen çözülmeyi beklemektedir. Spesifik bağlamda ise Arakanlı Müslümanlar (Rohingyalılar)’ın hem Myanmar’da hem de Bangladeş’teki sığınmacı kamplarında yaşadıkları sıkıntılardan bahsedilecek olan bu makalede, yaşanan sorunlara çözüm önerileri de getirilmeye çalışılacaktır. Tüm bu yaşanan etnik temizlik ve soykırım suçlarının nedenini anlayabilmek için öncelikle Arakan coğrafyasının tarihinden, 18. yüzyıldan itibaren yaşanan işgallerden ve bu toplumun ne tür hak ihlallerine maruz kaldığından bahsetmek mantıklı olacaktır. Ayrıca, kavramsal tartışmaların önüne geçmek için sığınmacı ve mülteci kavramları Arakanlı Müslümanlarla bağlantılı olarak açıklanacak, Bangladeş’te yer alan ve dünyanın en büyük sığınmacı kamplarından birisi olan Kutupalong (Cox’s Bazar) sığınmacı kampında yaşanan zorluklardan, yardım örgütlerinin çabalarından ve alınması gereken acil önlemlerden bahsedilecektir. Birleşmiş Milletler’in açıklamasına göre, ‘dünya üzerinde en çok zulüm ve şiddet gören etnik topluluk’ olan Arakanlı Müslümanların sığınmacı kamplarında yaşadıkları sağlık, barınma ve insan ticareti ile ilgili sorunlarına da değinilecek ve çözümsel analizler yapılacaktır.

Social support and resilience among Burmese adolescent refugees: Examining ethnic identity searching and belonging as moderators

Adolescent refugees are at risk of developing mental health difficulties due to exposure to trauma and stressors during the process of forced migration. However, many remain resilient in the face of adversity due to various protective factors. Previous research has suggested that family, peer social support, and stronger ethnic identity may serve as protective factors that improve resilience processes in refugee youth with some evidence indicating that these factors may interact to enhance positive adaptation and adjustment. Therefore, this study examined the main effects of peer and family social support, and ethnic identity searching and belonging on resilience behavior in a sample of Burmese adolescent refugees living in the United States. Additionally, ethnic identity searching and belonging were examined as moderators. Results indicated adolescents who reported greater peer and family social support also reported greater resilience during adversity. Ethnic identity searching and belonging were not significant predictors of resilience; however, ethnic identity searching did enhance the relationship between peer social support and resilience at both high and low levels of peer social support. These findings highlight the importance of social support and engaging in ethnic identity exploration for adolescent refugees. The implications for future research and the potential for interventions are fully discussed.

Вимушена міграція в надзвичайних умовах російсько-української війни та її негативні наслідки для генофонду України

The article covers an exclusively new topic – forced migration processes in Ukraine and abroad, provoked by the current hot phase of the eight-year Russian-Ukrainian war. The immediate negative impact of this phenomenon on the demograph-ic situation in Ukraine and future consequences for the gene pool of the population of the Ukrainian state are studied for the first time. The features of forced migration in the extraordinary conditions of this war, such as quantitative indicators of migrants and emigrants, age and gender of their subjectivity, directions of migrants running within Ukraine and emigrants abroad, problems faced by migrants in the country and abroad, etc. are investigated in the article. The aim of the study is to show the huge and unexpected impact of large-scale military operations launched by the occu-pying Russian regular army on the lives and fate of peaceful and innocent people of Ukraine. A quarter of them has become forced refugees and displaced persons. The figures and facts also show the tragedy of millions of families and individuals who have been forced to leave their homes, leaving all the benefits acquired during their lives. The relevance of the work is justified by the necessity of immediate generalization and study of the latest statistical and demographic data on the current forced migration crisis in the extraordinary conditions of the current Russian-Ukrainian aggressive war. The methods of research include general and specific historical: analysis and synthesis (in the course of working with sources); objectivity (determining the scale of internal and external migration provoked by the hot phase of the eight-year Russian-Ukrainian war); generalization (to understand the real state of forced migration processes in Ukraine and abroad and to draw conclusions); statistical (for the use in the work of quantitative indicators of migration and emigration various in nature and importance); chronological (to present the material in sequential chronological order); synchronous (during the comparative characterization of the situation of internally displaced persons in Ukraine and abroad). The scientific novelty of the article is a comprehensive analysis of new statistical and demographic data on the unprec-edented scales of the 7 million forced resettlement movement within Ukraine and the forced emigration of almost 6 million inhabitants and the extremely negative impact of these phenomena on our state gene pool. The practical value of the work comes down to the fact that the factual material, the author’s views and conclusions can be used to prepare works on modern history of Ukraine, some foreign countries and the Ukrainian diaspora.

Toplumsal cinsiyete dayalı cinsel şiddet sarmalı içinde göçmen kadınlar: Bağlamsal bir değerlendirme

The risk of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), increases significantly for women in a war/conflict context and forced migration process. However, SGBV exposure by migrant women is only considered as the unfortunate outcome of the war. This situation makes the appearance of SGBV even more obscure and makes it invisible. The aim of this review is to contextually (war/conflict context, journey, and destination country) evaluate the appearances of SGBV, which is the continuation of the conflict to which forced migrant women are exposed, and to discuss the contextual mechanisms that feed the SGBV spiral. As a result, SGBV to which forced migrant women are exposed has a spiral structure, but the appearances of SGBV are complex, interactive, transformative, and are fluidly and dynamically constructed with the contextual parameters in which SGBV action occurs. This construction process determines the direction of outcomes, needs, and interventions.

Émigré neurophysiologists' situated knowledge economies and their roles in forming international cultures of scientific excellence

This article investigates the scientific performance and impact of Jewish and politically oppositional émigré German-speaking neurophysiologists from Nazi-occupied Europe since the 1930s. The massive loss of nearly 30% of all academic psychiatrists and neurologists in Germany between 1933 and 1945 also shattered the basis of German-speaking neuroscientific research. A focus will be laid here on the contingency of situated knowledge economies in Central Europe, the UK and North America, as well as their roles in the formation of international cultures of scientific excellence in the forced migration process. While examining excellent émigré laboratory research, the intriguing biographies of three Nobel Prize-winning neurophysiologists––Otto Loewi (1873–1961; from Germany/Austria to the USA), Bernard Katz (1911–2003; from Germany to the UK) and Eric Kandel (b. 1929; from Austria to the USA)—can tell us considerably more about the appraisal of medico-scientific knowledge through an epistemic lens representing world history along explicit regional knowledge economies. This article examines some of the more intricate scientific practices and professional patterns of determining academic excellence related to situated knowledge communities in the contemporary brain sciences.

Immigration and the Expanding U.S. Southern Border: Casa en tierra ajena (2016)

The question of the U.S.-Mexico border has been discussed extensively by various media in different contexts, particularly within the last few years and the focus of those publications has ranged from legislative issues, through militarization of the border and the resulting criminalization of migrants to the growing number of deportations and conditions in detention centers. Those exemplary cases of border stories related recently in the media signal the shift in immigration patterns from Central America and consequences of those changes for the whole region. They also demonstrate the trajectory of transformations at the U.S.-Mexico border, including the change of the concept of the border from la línea separating two nation-states into an ever-expanding zone that exceeds political lines and turns Mexico into the great south border. These issues are discussed in the documentary Casa en tierra ajena or Home in a Foreign Land (2016) directed by Ivannia Villalobos-Vindas and the purpose of the article is to examine how Villalobos-Vindas addresses the complexity of the process of forced migration from Central America and to analyze how the documentary illustrates the appearance of the expanding border or the transformation of the U.S.-Mexico political line into the great south border.

Forced migration and legal-spatial violence in the United States and Germany

Asylum laws cannot function without spatial technologies and practices. Refugee camps, detention centers and accommodation facilities, in addition to dispersal and residential obligations, highlight the spatiality of asylum laws and policies. They are not only designed to regulate forced migrants' movement and place them in alternative legal and spatial regimes, but they are also spaces where migrants’ legal rights are violated and access to integrating institutions are restricted. Based on findings from Germany and the United States, this paper argues that current asylum regimes are characterized by a system of legal-spatial violence; a process in which a form of violence is embedded in law, implemented through policies and formal processes, and realized and reproduced spatially. This entanglement between the law, space, and violence involves complex and paradoxical processes: immobility and internal bordering practices (where forced migrants are confined and their movement is limited), as well as forced mobility and situations of unbordering (where movement is forced, and where spatial restrictions are either repealed or replaced). These processes fragment and prolong the trajectories of forced migration. Compulsion, displacement, and the dispossession of rights—which constitute the process of forced migration—do not cease on entering Germany or the United States, but can continue. The rationale for legal-spatial violence goes beyond the securitization of forced migration and the control and deterrence of forced migrants, and also includes economic logic and profit making.

FEATURES OF ASSESSMENT OF THE INFLUENCE OF PROCESSES OF FORCED MIGRATION ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF REGIONS

Forced migration processes, which started in Ukraine with the collapse of the Soviet Union, have taken new forms and reached their peak with the aggression of the Russian Federation in 2014. Since then, the problem of determining the impact of these processes on the development and security of the country's regions has been particularly relevant. In this regard, the article considers existing methods and international experience of a quantitative assessment of the impact of migration phenomena on the socio-economic development of regions. In addition, the author pays special attention to the identification and justification of the features inherent in internal migration processes, which directly impose restrictions on the quantitative assessment of the impact of these phenomena on the socio-economic development of regions and the obstacles researchers face in this field. Several critical features are determining the requirements for the choice of quantitative methods for assessing the impact of migration processes on regional socio-economic development, i.e., the complexity of establishing a direct relationship resulting from displacement is completely separated from the general societal changes; the impact of displacement will vary depending on several key factors; a high level of subjective judgements and estimations; the research results are sensitive to the level of initial data aggregation, their homogeneity and comparability; the lack of statistical information must be taken into account. A retrospective analysis of existing domestic and foreign approaches to overcome these problems has been carried out. Moreover, their advantages and disadvantages are pointed out. Based on the obtained results, it has been proved that the linear paradigm, which is superior to the classical economic and mathematical methods, is not always applicable. At the same time, the possibility of using modern non-linear approaches such as the theory of open systems, the theory of chaos has been proposed and justified. Furthermore, relevant conclusions have been made, and prospects for further research have been outlined.

Forced migration experiences, mental well-being, and nail cortisol among recently settled refugees in Serbia.

Refugees are exposed to a wide breadth of traumatic and psychosocially stressful experiences that have long-term implications for their health and resilience. Most prior research on this topic has focused on long-settled refugee populations, as opposed to those who find themselves in more intermittent transitional stages of the forced migration process. Specifically, few studies have explored how refugees' experiences during their recently completed journeys correlate with their mental well-being or physiological profiles that are responsive to psychosocial stress and trauma. Using data from recently settled refugees in Serbia (n=111), our study helps address this existing gap by examining the associations between refugees' experiences during their arduous journeys, fingernail cortisol concentrations (CORT), and self-reports of psychosocial stress and PTSD symptomology. We found that refugees who reported experiencing longer journeys had higher recent perceived stress as well as poorer well-being and physical health. Refugees who experienced trauma during their journeys also reported higher recent perceived stress and tended to have higher CORT than those who did not experience trauma. In addition, we also observed sex differences in mental health and CORT profiles. Women tended to report poorer mental well-being and physical health and also had lower CORT compared to men. While longitudinal research is needed, our correlative findings are consistent with the notion that reducing exposure to extreme trauma and stress by establishing safe migration pathways for people fleeing hardship could potentially help attenuate forced relocation-related illnesses and improve health outcomes among refugees as they await resettlement.

Data Privacy and Displacement: A Cultural Approach

Abstract Recent research has pointed to the increasing impact of digitally derived data on forced migration processes, including legal mechanisms for accessing social media profiles of asylum seekers. These developments raise the issue of data privacy, specifically how asylum seekers understand data privacy and protect their data. This article pays particular attention to cultural variants of data privacy. Culture, here, refers to a communication culture linked to displacement, with safety as a key code and variant of data privacy. For the asylum seekers and refugees from South(east) Asia, the Middle East and African nations, safety was a concern in daily digital practice. Safety was a relational way of being, exercised through selective contacts and playful presentations of the self. Those presentations were deeply embedded in the logics of social media and stood in contrast to narratives of persecution, potentially posing problems for asylum claim determination in the future. Based on the lack of awareness of asylum seekers about data privacy and safety, a data safety workshop was designed, available on GitHub.

The Conceptualization problem in research and responses to sexual and gender-based violence in forced migration

ABSTRACT The conceptualization of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) has developed rapidly over recent decades and the understanding of SGBV in the context of forced migration continues to evolve. Based on a scoping review of scholarly work and reports by non-governmental organizations and international organizations between 1993 and 2018, this study identifies limitations to the current conceptualization of SGBV, and proposes a re-conceptualization. The paper argues that the existing literature overemphasizes the contexts of war zones and conflict and excludes post-flight settings, and focuses mainly on the victimization of women, excluding other at-risk groups. The tendency to focus on conflict zones and to underline the victim status of women constrains the usefulness of the conceptualization for informing research as well as protection and response. This review considers the multifaceted causes and consequences of gendered vulnerabilities and insecurities that are exposed in forced migration processes in order to make sense of SGBV as a gendered harm. Through a constructivist and de-essentialising theoretical lens, the study proposes to conceptualize SGBV in terms of continuities in forced migration occuring over time in interwoven territories and a variety of contexts from countries of origin to settlement.

Mulheres em refúgio: a marginalização de refugiadas em um sistema internacional hierarquizado

O principal objetivo deste artigo é analisar como as mulheres refugiadas do Sul Global são tratadas pelo Sistema Internacional e pelo Regime Internacional de Refúgio. A hipótese do trabalho parte do nível sistêmico e conclui que as mulheres refugiadas são excluídas política, social e economicamente de ambas as esferas e tal exclusão é refletida também nas sociedades de acolhida. Essa marginalização ocorre devido às relações coloniais de poder que moldam o globo em múltiplas hierarquias de gênero, raça, etnia, nacionalidade e status migratório, as quais inferiorizam as mulheres que buscam por refúgio tanto no próprio Sul quanto no Norte Global. Fez-se uma revisão bibliográfica sobre a edificação hierárquica e dicotômica do Sistema Internacional com base na exploração e inferiorização do Sul Global; sobre as contradições do Regime Internacional de Refúgio e a construção de “mitos da diferença” que retrataram e continuam a representar pessoas refugiadas como “ameaças” à segurança e à cultura nacionais; sobre a categorização das mulheres em situação de refúgio como vulneráveis, e; por fim, sobre a necessidade de se incorporar um olhar interseccional às análises de processos migratórios forçados.

DİNİ SOSYALLEŞME SÜRECİNDE DİNİ EĞİTİM KURUMLARI VE SURİYELİ SIĞINMACILAR ‘KİLİS ÖRNEĞİ’

Bu makalede Nisan 2011 yılından itibaren göç etmeye başlayan Suriyeli sığınmacıların, dini eğitim ve dini eğitim kurumlarının hayatları üzerindeki etkisi ve göç sonrası farklı bir toplum içerisinde nasıl bir dini eğitim yolunu benimsedikleri araştırılmıştır. Türkiye’deki dini eğitimle Suriye’deki dini eğitimin arasındaki farklılıklar göz önünde bulundurularak zorunlu göç deneyimi sonrası dini eğitimin nasıl cereyan ettiği değerlendirilmiştir. İslam dinine mensup olan iki toplumun dini eğitim noktasında, göç sonrası Kilis’te bulunan sığınmacılar özelinde değişim gösterip göstermediği veya aynı kurumlar çerçevesinde devam edip etmediği araştırılmıştır. Dinin toplumlara göre farklı pratik, sosyolojik, teorik boyutlarının ve tezahürlerinin olması, dini sosyalleşme içerisinde genel anlamda eğitimin özel anlamda dini eğitimin rolü ve kültürel kodlarının ele alınması bakımından makale önem arz etmektedir. Çalışmada nitel yöntem tercih edilmiş ve derinlemesine mülakat tekniği kullanılmıştır. Diğer yandan araştırma, kartopu örneklem yöntemiyle oluşturulmuş ve Kilis ilinde ikamet eden Suriyeli sığınmacıların zorunlu göç süreci sonrası ‘dini sosyalleşme süreci içerisinde dini eğitimi’ inceleyen bir olgubilim çalışması olarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri Kilis ilinde ikamet eden sığınmacılardan ve sığınmacıların mikro-sosyolojik deneyimleri göz önünde bulundurularak anlayıcı ve sembolik etkileşimci yaklaşımlar çerçevesinde oluşturulmuştur. Çalışmada dini eğitimin dini sosyalleşme sürecinde önemli bir faktör olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
