Stipendien für den Promotionsabschluss
Why are you researching or studying at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar?
My area of scholarship focuses on the intersection of urban studies and migration social research. The transdisciplinary cooperation and international perspective offered by Buahuas university provide the best platform for me to carry on this research.
What is special about your project? Why is it relevant?
My research emphasizes the importance of improving immigrants’ subjective well-being (sense of belonging), which is key to promoting cohesion in today’s societies. It will focus on a context-dependent case study of high-skilled Iranian immigrants with a bottom-up approach focusing on their integration experiences. It provides situated empirical knowledge on this matter while capturing the value of space as a social arena. It investigates the places (both local and public spaces) migrants look for their belonging and forge a sense of attachment. Overall, this research project provides new insight into the link between individual and ethnic perceptions of daily social interaction, spatial practices, and constructing the narratives of belonging.
