+ Emigration: the view from ethnography Dr Michaela Benson, University of York Prof Karen O'Reilly, Loughborough University

+ Our experience researching emigration Spain (Karen): , France (Michaela): Panama (Michaela): Malaysia/ Thailand (Karen): 2012 Methodology Ethnography: participant observation, interviews (face to face, skype, ), focus groups, documentary analysis, surveys

+ Why ethnography? Beyond numbers Adaptable Introduces qualitative enquiry Meanings and understandings of agents, without ignoring structure Nuanced appreciation of relationship between structure and agency (Practice stories)

+ Lifestyle Migration Key features: lifestyle as a primary motivation behind migration the role of consumption in migration Who are these lifestyle migrants? heterogeneous population – age, class background, occupation, family status … lifestyle migrants are relatively affluent individuals of all ages, moving either part-time or full-time to places that, for various reasons, signify, for the migrant, a better quality of life (Benson and O’Reilly 2009: 609).

+ Key themes (1) Relationship with the UK multi-faceted reasons for leaving (both push and pull) denigration of UK and the lifestyle available there 'myth of no return' (O'Reilly 2000) + return to the UK as a LAST RESORT

+ Key themes (2) Post-migration lives Influences of colonialism, tourism, imaginaries Habitus Communities of practice

+ Crisis and emigration Emigration flows Slows? Emigration as a response to the challenges of crisis (e.g. US migrants, British migrants in France) Impact on existing emigrant populations Outcomes of crisis for existing related to levels of financial security /reliance on financial institutions Return migration Conditions which facilitate this

+ Conclusion Ethnography gives a nuanced understanding of British emigration and post-emigration lives that allows us to understand the heterogeneous migrant experience from the perspective of individual migrants Ethnography locates British migration in the wider historical and structural context of what it is/has been to be British Ethnography is an adaptable methodology Further thoughts: Could Brits abroad be viewed as a resource?
