Hi everyone

 

I received this message from a researcher who is trying to locate participants for a study on second generation Greek-Americans, Greek-Germans and British-born Greek Cypriots returning to Greece or Cyprus. If you know someone who would like to participate, please contact the researcher directly using the e-mail address at the end of her message below.  Thanks, Emmanuel

I am writing to you in the hope of assistance with my research project. I am involved in a new three year migration project funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council of the UK which is affiliated with the Sussex Centre for Migration Research. I am the Research Fellow on this project entitled 'Cultural Geographies of Counter-Diasporic Migration: the Second Generation Returns "Home"'.

The empirical focus of this research is the 'return' of second-generation Greek-Germans, Greek-Americans and British-born Greek Cypriots to their 'ancestral home' in Greece or Cyprus - both temporary visits and permanent relocations.

I am presently in Athens for the first phase of the pilot fieldwork then in July I will conduct fieldwork in Berlin and in New York in August. At this stage I am particularly interested in locating second generation Greek-Americans and Greek-Germans currently residing in Greece and who would be interested in contributing their thoughts and experiences
informally and anonymously to the study. I would be extremely grateful if you could provide any assistance in locating participants for the study and/or migrant community associations in any of the above locations.

Please contact me via email as listed below.

Apologies for the disturbance and any assistance would be immensely
appreciated!

Very many thanks for your time!

All good wishes,
Anastasia
