| Summary: | As a refugee from Bosnia-Herzegovina, where an international armed conflict displaced the second-largest number of people since World War II, I am invested in understanding the experience of refugees. This investment comes not only from leaving my childhood home but also being denied permanent residence (i.e., asylum) in Germany and navigating a bureaucratic asylum process in the United States. While navigating asylum in the United States was complex almost 16 years ago, it has gotten even more intricate following a rise in anti-refugee sentiment around the world. Driven by a rapidly shifting sociopolitical landscape and gap between research and policy, I became interested with learning about the experience of Syrian refugees navigating asylum in the United States. In this case study, I describe a year-long research project that became my doctoral dissertation. I focus on the challenges I encountered, which include defining legal terms, securing cultural brokers and translators, and obtaining university oversight approval. I also provide suggestions, including templates, for organizing qualitative data to expedite analysis. |
