| dc.description | This collection consists of detailed, hand-written ethnographic fieldnotes from fieldwork in Sabah, transcripts of interviews with children and youth, children's photographs and drawings of their life in Sabah, and children's written responses to worksheet questions. A waiver has been granted for the deposit of this data because of complex issues of security, confidentiality and lack of consent connected with qualitative research with undocumented children. More detail on these issues can be sought from the Principal Investigator Catherine Allerton at c.l.allerton@lse.ac.uk Details of publications arising from this project are available at: http://www.lse.ac.uk/anthropology/people/allerton.aspx <p>This research explores the everyday lives of the children of undocumented migrants and refugees in the city of Kota Kinabalu (KK), the capital of the East Malaysian state of Sabah. Through 12 months of child-focused ethnographic fieldwork, followed by 14 months of writing-up and analysis, the research will investigate the prevalence of statelessness, and its implications for children’s experiences of city life, work and education. Malaysia is an important place to study these issues, since it has one of the highest rates of undocumented workers in the world, yet the daily experiences of these workers and their families are unexamined in the literature. The research will produce detailed qualitative data on the mobile, urban lives of undocumented children, and will contribute to theoretical and methodological scholarship on the role of children in long-term processes of migration. The research aims to generate a new theoretical framework for understanding children’s experiences of ‘illegality’, which will be of interest not only to academic researchers but also to NGOs and UN bodies focused on migrant, refugee and child rights. The project’s findings will be communicated in briefing papers, scholarly articles and a book, but also through a website of children’s images and stories.</p> | en |
