‘Multiple identifications and emotional processes: Japanese migrant women in mixed families'

Through life narrative interviews with Japanese migrant women in mixed families, living in Northern Ireland and the Republic, I will examine migrant women's identification processes which are affecetd by and affect thier emotional dynamics.  The relationships between self-narratives and emotions are also explored.
