Duration: 1.2.2018-31.1.2021
Project collaborator: Benedikt Bazyar Gudrich
Tutor: Ingo Bartsch
Funding: Federal Ministry of Education and Research; funding measure "Humanities and Social Sciences" in the funding area "Strengthening Cohesion in Times of Crises and Changes"
Summary:
Subproject B at the HS RheinMain empirically analyses the perspective of politicians and journalists. Of interest is how media representations of Islam are taken up and thematized in the communication of these persons and how they (from the perspective of the interviewees) lead to political decision-making processes.
The subprojects of the research network pursue the question of a) how the topic 'Islamist threat' is conveyed in media representations with recourse to anti-Muslim topoi and how critical discourses are articulated and b) how media representations are taken up and thematized in the communication of politicians and journalists and how they (from the perspective of the interviewees) lead to political decision-making processes and c. ) how (as) Muslims (those who are marked) and Muslim communities (re)gain power of interpretation and action in the face of the security discourse, how they balance the relationship between consent and criticism, and what freedoms they create for themselves in order not to (completely) leave the discourse of the 'Muslim subject' to others.
Cooperation partners:
The book collects (1) current research findings on the life situation of refugee women in different areas of life (e.g. education, labour market, health), (2) positioning of refugee women and (3) an inventory of support and counselling structures. Significant for our examination of flight and gender is the recognition that not only theoretically and empirically founded knowledge about the life situations of refugee women is important, but also their own social positioning and self-assessments. We therefore choose an innovative format. In interviews we want to offer refugee women a forum to articulate their everyday experiences. In addition, selected service structures for counselling, accompaniment and support of refugee women will be included.

Summary
The research project investigates the access to the labour market of highly qualified women who have fled their homes. It is a pilot study in Hesse. The following research questions, among others, guide the explorative study: How are the target group's chances on the labour market shaped? To what extent are they actually perceived as labour market policy addressees? How do labour market policy actors view this group? What strategies do migrant women develop in the context of asylum in view of their labour market situation? What experiences do highly qualified female migrants have on the labour market? How do highly qualified women manage to contribute their skills and qualifications? Qualitative interviews are used to ascertain the subjective interpretations of the women who have fled and the perspectives of various labour market actors. The study is designed at the interface of sociological labour market, gender, migration and asylum research.
