1) Explaining Narrative research and the reason for choosing narrative research.
2)Source of data: Primary and secondary.

shall spend six months conducting 30 interviews in Kurdish, Arabic, German and English, where several hundred Kurdish second-generation returnees, who has born and grow up in Europe and neighboring countries, are estimated to be living in Iraqi Kurdistan. I shall select second-generation of various socio-economic statuses, from different ages and genders. Myself will later translate the transcripts into English.
have been working as a lecturer at Sulaimanya University for about three years. I exchanged ideas with other researchers at the University of Sulaimanya where I am teaching. I gained useful insights by building contact with second-generation who are back to Kurdistan.
also met Iraqi Kurdish researcher, politician, writers, academics, students and aid workers who gave me further insights into the issues I shall explore. I am confident that I will find appropriate informants for my project.
