Kesişen Kimlikler Ekseninde Bir Konum Tartışması: Bir Kadın Araştırmacının Türkiye’de Yaşayan Rus Göçmen Kadınlarla Karşılaş masından Notlar

Abstract

Araştırmacıların çalışma grubu seçimi, grupla bağlantı kurma, veri toplama, veri analizi, yorumlanması ve yazımı sürecinde yaşadıkları yazıya geçmeye başladı son zamanlarda. Bu alandaki yazın, sıklıkla konumsallık tartışmaları ekseninde gelişiyor. Ben de bu tartışmalara, 2012 yılında tamamladığım “Rusya’dan Antalya’ya Ulusaşırı Göç ve Bu Göçün Sosyo-Mekânsal Sonuçları” isimli yüksek lisans tezimin ve “Rusya-Türkiye Göç Sistemi: İstanbul’da Karma Evlilikler ve Ulusaşırı Pratikler” isimli devam eden doktora tezimin saha notları üzerinden katkı sağlamayı hedefliyorum. Bu çalışmada, araştırmacı ve araştırılan arasındaki ilişkide etnisite, toplumsal cinsiyet ve sosyo-ekonomik statü kategorilerin nasıl kesiştiğini ve sürekli müzakere gerektiren bağlam bağımlı konumun, araştırma sürecine etkisini tartışıyorum

A Position Discussion on Intersecting Identities: Notes from a Woman Researcher Meeting with Russian Migrant Women Living in Turkey

Abstract

A Position Discussion on Intersecting Identities: Notes from a Woman Researcher Meeting with Russian Migrant Women Living in Turkey The experiences of the researchers in fieldwork on selection of researching groups, communication with them, data gathering, analyzing, interpretation and writing process has recently begun to put down on paper. The literature in this area is often evolving around the discussion of positionality. I would like to make contribution on these academic disputes through fieldwork notes of my master's thesis "Transnational Migration from Russia to Antalya and Socio-Spatial Consequences of This Migration" I completed in 2012 and the ongoing doctorate thesis "Russia-Turkey Migration System: Mixed Marriages and Transnational Practices in Istanbul". In this study, I discuss how ethnicity, gender and socio- economic status categorizations intersect between researcher and participant, and the context-based position that requires continuous negotiation, the effects of the research process

Keywords

• positionality

• Russian women
