We as a research team (Dr. Jane Holgate, Janroj Keles and Dr. Leena Kumarappan from WLRI, London Metropolitan University and Professor Anna Pollert at University of West of England) are doing a research project on ‘Influences of identity, community and social networks on ethnic minority representation at work’ at London Metropolitan University and focusing on Kurdish people in Hackney, Indian people in Ealing and Caribbean people in Lambeth.
We are looking for Kurdish individuals (with different age, gender, education and occupation background) to participate in a focus group and to interpret the social and cultural meanings of 10 photographs of Kurdish everyday life in London including identity, community and work.
We are interesting in how Kurdish people conceptualize their identities and relationships with issues of community and work and social network in London. This ESRC funded research project would like to hear your voice, your opinion and give you an opportunity to understand the way you feel, interpret, and make sense of your experiences in London through using images of Kurdish people taken by a professional photographer Jim Hodson and RenkArt.
We only need approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes of your time and we will pay you £20 for your participation.
