 The group of our research students approached the centre for migration and diaspora studies with a really great idea to put on in an event that would bring together, celebrate and foster the work that our PhD researchers were doing around migration, mobility and borders. When we use SOAS Learning for postgraduate research ac yn ddweud beth sy'n gwybod gyda'r Ysgolwyr, yr Argyllidol Llywodraeth, yw Iubau. Byddwn ni'n gweithio i gael eich dweud y cwmfrens.

And specifically, in the case of Mauritania in north west Africa. So that's where I was doing my field work and that's what my case study of externalisation is.

Well, the supervisory committee that I have, the colleagues that I have in my cohort and the broader environment in ethos, so us I've found it really, really supportive. So my research deals with examining experiences that migrants have of digital government. So this includes government websites, government apps, so any kind of communication that the government does online with migrants in terms of accessing government services, things such as applying for water, housing, et cetera. So I examine those things using ethnographic research. I discovered quite a lot, and my research spends two cities, so I look at London and Seoul, and I'm finding kind of similar and different things across the board there. It's interesting to see that kind of London and Seoul are considered leaders of the digital government, and that's why I kind of wanted to do a comparative study, especially because the two cities have very different migration context and history. And I have found that similarities in terms of the two kind of digital government system is that I feel a lot of, or I've heard that a lot of people find that the systems when they're being developed kind of are developed in silos and that more people would like to see better communication so that the platforms can be developed in a more holistic and kind of communicative way. That's one of the reasons. I've really enjoyed it, and that's one of the reasons why I came to SOAS from the States in the first place because of the expertise SOAS has in migration. And I find that the kind of encouragement of interdisciplinary study here quite good in terms of my research because I'm of the belief that development happens not just in traditional development areas but all over across multiple disciplines. I really have benefited a lot from the fact that my department and the school in general kind of encourages this kind of interdisciplinary communication. So for example, we have meetings throughout the year with other scholars and researchers in the field and just having those casual meetings themselves and talking about the new areas that people find relevant for migration research. And to hear all of the new areas that people do their research for me is like very interesting as a researcher. The title of my project is Paraya Dhan, Brides, Wives and Mothers. Paraya Dhan is a term that's used in Hindi, mainly in the Indian subcontinent. That means it translates to belonging to someone else and it's used with reference to girls or women. So the outcomes of the project that I've found is that firstly we cannot box these women into these categories or victims and survivors because they're very limited. By looking at the stories and by really tracing their memories and understanding how do they connect their past with their present really shows that their transition process from being a Paraya Dhan to also then being a misafir migrant woman. And this is a term that I have coined in my work. Misafir meaning a traveler or a guest and joining that with their identity as a migrant woman. I find that this really encompasses a broader spectrum of who they are and their situation as someone who doesn't really belong anywhere. But they're constantly trying to build that sense of belonging in process of relocating and regrounding and moving around. So it's very much about looking at their stories to see how they articulate bride management and bride mobility in this situation. Speaking about my specific department of gender studies, I think the kind of courses that we offer, the modules that we have, the kind of skills that we are able to acquire from these courses and training that we receive within and outside of the department has been really, really useful. So constantly talking about our work, having sort of peer to peer connection, having opportunity to attend a lot of seminars that happens across the school. The doctoral training programs that we have, which are more geared towards sort of applied training and applied knowledge has been really, really helpful. And I think also just meeting people, meeting students from different departments and looking at what they're doing. So this, you know, when I say this I'm thinking about conferences that we hold in SOAS or conferences that SOAS sort of advertises to us that are in our sort of neighboring universities, right? I think that really helped.
