Abstract:
This paper analyzes the process of change from 'other' to 'subject' by conducting in-depth interviews on the economic activities and life experiences of marriage migrant women in Yeongju, Gyeongbuk. According to the research results, marriage migrant women chose to marry Korean men in order to help poor families in their home countries and live a prosperous life in Korea. However, the realities of Korean families were poor, and women were severely ignored and discriminated against because they were from poor countries. Marriage migrant women made efforts to engage in economic activities and participate in Korean language classes and competency programs in order to change their poor home environment for the better. Marriage migrant women gave birth to sons, accepted Korean family culture, and were recognized as dignified personalities. Marriage migrant women are growing into family leaders by leading cultural convergence between their mother country and Korea.

Abstract:
Summary This study explores the everyday Otherness experienced by Southeast Asian marriage-migrant women in South Korea. South Korea is increasingly ethnically diverse due to the dramatic rise in international marriages between foreign women and Korean men, most of which are facilitated by marriage brokers. Yet little research has been conducted on marriage-migrants’ experiences of communicating with local Koreans. Drawing on data collected through in-depth interviews with five participants from Cambodia and Vietnam, this study focuses on specific factors that cause conflicts between these women and local Koreans in various social contexts, including the household, workplaces, and wider communities, and how the women respond to such conflicts and manage challenging interactions. The participants’ narratives demonstrate the tensions and conflicts they encounter, which can be divided into three categories: the imposition of Korean ways of living, negative stereotyping, and language use. The women describe being perceived as deviating from Korean society’s cultural and linguistic norms and facing pressure to conform to these norms, which sometimes conflict with their own sense of identity. In addition, they experience marginalization through Othering and negative stereotyping in their interactions with Koreans and struggle to develop a sense of belonging to the host society. The results of this study provide implications for second language programs designed for marriage-migrants, which have the potential to enable marriage-migrants to achieve sustainable development in their second language learning and to support their development of multilingual and multicultural identities.

Abstract:
This study is to examine the family dissolution and reconstruction experiences of marriage migrant women. To this end, in-depth interviews were conducted with seven marriage migrant women who got divorced and then formed new couple relationships in Korea. The data were analyzed by a phenomenological analysis method. As a result, the analysis identified 146 meaningful statements and 28 sub-categories resulting in 9 core categories: ‘getting off on the wrong foot,’ ‘mounting conflict and distrust,’ ‘expressions of deepening conflict and increasing anxiety,’ ‘escape from pain and incomplete freedom,’ ‘becoming a Korean as a mother for Korean children,’ ‘desire for happiness,’ ‘crack of happiness,’ ‘repositioning’ and ‘exercising embedded agency.’ The nature of marriage migrant women’s experience derived from these categories could be described as ‘surviving beyond the barrier behind the barrier.’ Based on the main findings, this paper discusses the practical implications for marriage migrants.

Abstract:
This paper explored the marriage migrant mothers’ experiences of parenting bi-ethnic children in South Korea based on the concepts of ethnic socialization and intersectionality. We analyzed in-depth interviews of 22 marriage migrant women from Vietnam residing in the capital region of South Korea. They had at least one child whose biological father is Korean. Children were 5 years old or older, attending preschool or elementary school. Five types of bi-ethnic socialization strategies were identified, which provide portraits of different situations in which marriage migrant women were placed. The five strategies that emerged from the data were 1) “Natural practice of bi-ethnic socialization” including two heterogeneous groups, “Coexistence of two cultures” and “Mixture of two cultures”, 2) “Active practice of bi-ethnic socialization”, 3) “Struggling practice of bi-ethnic socialization”, 4) “Silence on bi-ethnic socialization”, and 5) “Suppressed bi-ethnic socialization”. The strategies of bi-ethnic socialization that marriage migrant women chose to raise their children reflected personal perceptions of Korean society and individual ethnic identity formed within Korean society. This study complements existing research on ethnic socialization by examining how ethnic socialization practices are shaped by multiple contexts marriage migrant women embedded in Korean society.

Abstract:
Every year, the Republic of Korea (Korea) welcomes new immigrants, thereby transitioning from a homogenous society to a multicultural country. Of these immigrants, migrant workers represent the largest group, followed by women who immigrate as spouses to Korean men. One great concern of Korea’s policymakers and healthcare providers is how Korea’s healthcare system can handle the deterioration of health observed among married Asian female immigrants. The health care system, mediated by the competitive relationship between local clinics and hospitals exacerbate the problem. The authors present possible solutions to the problems through a conceptual model of the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES), Korean healthcare system, food insecurity (FI), and health status. Different policies are proposed including: before you/she come (s) policy, foreign women workforce participation policy, poverty alleviation policy, health insurance policy for migrant women, health professional training policy, food insecurity policy and dietary acculturation policy. More government owned hospitals or private clinics should be built in rural areas. Married migrant women with good income seem to enjoy better health. Developing rural areas though economic empowerment will certainly create job opportunities.

The study aims to examine the academic experience of adult Korean learners in the digital space and derive the implications of Korean language education for them. In this study, it was intended to examine the motivation and academic performance of married migrant women to enter Korea National Open University. This study conducted a case study by collecting in-depth interview data of migrant women from China and Vietnam with diverse majors and learning trajectory as participants. Based on the collected data, the educational implications needed for adult learners to receive online higher education are as follows: first, close cooperation with related institutions to expand the influx of online higher education institutions; second, strengthening support for adaptation to the first semester after admission; third, promoting interaction among multicultural learners within the campus; and fourth, providing support needed for Korean language education focused on writing as basic learning capability support.

Abstract:
In this study in-depth interviews with six migrant women living in shelters and four workers were done to figure out how to improve the shelters for migrant women victims of domestic violence. As a result, migrant women requested the shelter to allow economic activities even partially to prepare for independence and expressed their desire to use independent space as a family unit. In addition, they asked for psychotherapy for their children, support for parenting and programs for acquiring Korean culture such as Korean language education. What they wanted most when leaving the shelter were support of housing, job and child education. The improvement suggested by the workers is as follows. At first, setting up standards for allowing migrant women’s economic activities in shelters. Secondly, strengthening the counseling for couples. Thirdly, reinforcing the education of skills of living and child rearing. Fourthly, psychological treatment and its budget for women and their accompanying children, Fifthly, expansion of various types of shelters satisfying the needs of migrant women such as self-reliance supporting shelter and family shelter. Based on these results, this study suggested how to improve the shelters for migrant women victims of domestic violence.

Abstract:
This article examines how state eldercare provision influences care workers’ subjectivities and claims for dignity and self-worth. Drawing upon extensive fieldwork conducted in South Korea, I argue that migrant and native-born care workers construct different ideals around what is “good” versus “bad” care through the marking of ethnic and professional boundaries. South Korean women employed as state-certified care workers emphasize the expertise and skill they provide as professional caregivers, and as such, demand expanded rights and protections from the state. In contrast, Korean-Chinese migrant women, who share a similar ethnic background but migrated from China to South Korea, emphasize their value as fictive-kin who can provide wholehearted care as informal workers. These divergent strategies not only result in the use of ethnicity to mark clear boundaries between the care work provided by each group, but they also (re)produce ethnically-segmented, two-tiered labour markets institutionalized by eldercare policies.

Abstract:
This thesis addresses an art therapy intervention in a Korean community in the UK. It describes the historical, social and cultural contexts of South and North Koreans, including Korean art and education throughout history in order to contextualize the research and the findings. It also portrays the researcher’s experiences as a Korean migrant as well as an art psychotherapist, exposed first to Eastern culture then to Western, becoming an art therapist and then working with Korean migrants in the UK. Case material from an art therapy group, an art activity group and individual art therapy with Korean migrants in different organisations were analysed alongside the author’s autobiographical journey which was also considered as a ‘case’. This research therefore explores how art therapy might be applicable to Korean migrants who are living in a Korean community in the UK in the context of the cultural complexities and social change characterised by migration. Throughout the research a qualitative research design was used which analysed the cases with an ethnographical lens, based on existing migration theories. Five conceptualisations were discovered that enable this researcher to understand this particular social group of Korean migrants. These are: cultural transition, or not; the relationship between migration experience and mental health; the influence of religion on migrants’ mental health; the relationship between Korean art education and art therapy; and the influence of socio-political issues in the Korean migrants’ community. These theoretical lenses illuminated how the process of migration has a massive impact on the migrants’ life in the host country and showed how it interweaves with the historical, social and cultural context of Korea. Many assumptions were challenged during the research. Particular considerations for working with Korean people in art therapy were explored, and the research concluded that it was important to be aware and work appropriately with people of other cultures in art therapy within the Western framework, to maintain its relationship between art, health and culture. This study has implications for the significance of examining the art therapist’s assumptions and presuppositions when art therapy is introduced to another culture, and when working with similarity and difference. It also has implications for art therapy practice, namely the importance of considering: the cultural values of clients’ origins, including their previous experiences of art-making and art education, despite migrants’ exposure to Western society; the current socio-cultural context of clients’ lives in their community in the host country; and adjusting art therapy practice so that it is appropriate to clients from different cultures.

Abstract:
This research seeks to adopt a post-foundationalist practical theology paradigm, as discussed by J C Müller, in order to create a bridge between the three concepts of the pastoral care perspective, the narrative perspective based on social-constructionism and post-foundationalism. Furthermore, I made use of Müller’s seven movements of methodology which laid a strong foundation to base my research on regarding married migrant women living within Korean multicultural families. Korean society which is a homogeneous culture is currently facing many challenges as a result of becoming more and more multicultural. These multicultural issues are becoming major social and political issues in South Korea. The main reason that South Korean society has become more multicultural is because of intercultural marriages which have also resulted in an increase in multicultural families. These migrant women are faced with many kinds of discrimination and prejudice as a result of their different appearance, culture and language. Furthermore, Korean culture often deprives women of having any position above men especially once they are married. After being married a woman should become invisible, voiceless, and nameless in order to become culturally acceptable. This often results in a migrant woman feeling stressed, fearful, isolated and alone which often results in the development of a low self-esteem, a lack of self-confidence and a low self-image. In my research, I sought to listen to and identify the stories of migrant women, namely foreign women who have married Korean men with a focus on the impact on their identities within a Korean multicultural family through a narrative perspective in order to have a positive growth and outcome from their intercultural differences within South Korea. I decided to view my co-researchers not as co-researchers but as companions on a journey which we could undertake together. The use of the metaphors ‘journey’ and ‘companions’ seemed to give my companions the freedom to speak more openly and placed us on an equal level. Furthermore, I not only discovered my companions’ identities through their own stories, but also developed my companions’ true identities/multi-identities through the broader, inter-relational stories of other people within multicultural communities through a six step process of Listening to the voice, Gaining voice, Giving voice, Finding alternative voice, Retelling voice and Creating future voice. I made use of the narrative approach in order to listen to my companions so that a unity would exist between their past, present and future stories. As I listened to the stories of my companions from a narrative perspective new possibilities were opened which lead to alternative and future stories. Furthermore, my companions were given the opportunity to find themselves and make new identities on the real journey of life. Through the process of my research I also developed a multicultural identity model specifically for married migrant women in South Korea, but ultimately the purpose of my research was not to show or develop a multicultural identity model regarding migrant women, but was more to help these migrant women find their identities themselves and in this become self-empowered to become contributors to Korean society.

Abstract:
Abstract This thesis examines the experiences of Korean migrant women (KMW) in the Australian labour market. A review of the extant literature leads to two propositions, both of which assert that KMW are likely to experience labour market disadvantage or barriers to entry. These propositions take into account two significant theories of the labour market: segmentation theory and human capital theory. Segmentation theory argues that unchangeable gender and racial / cultural differences have the greatest impact upon labour market value, human capital theory describes the labour market value of individuals as based upon apparently objective and attainable skills (here English language skills). Using narrative analysis and, more specifically, antenarrative analysis, the study examines the life stories of 33 Australian KMW. In so doing, it identifies hitherto unheard discourses concerning the experiences of KMW in relation to the Australian labour market — discourses that challenge established academic thinking regarding this issue. Identification and analysis of these new discourses generates a number of alternative understandings of the labour market experiences of KMW. These alternative understandings both demonstrate the limitations of, and go beyond, the existing two propositions. In particular, the research shows that the impacts of gender and culture (segmentation theory) vary over time for KMW, do not always prevent labour market participation, and are experienced in terms of identity within a gendered Australian labour market. The research also demonstrates that while many KMW are in fact sufficiently skilled in the English language (human capital theory) to enter the Australian labour market, they nevertheless experience a sense of inferiority about their English language capacity that discourages them from entering, and limits their opportunities to participate in, the labour market. This in turn contributes to their social isolation. The thesis concludes that within the Australian academic literature, KMW have either been given little space and voice or have been misrepresented, reflecting and contributing to an ongoing ignorance of the experiences of Asian women in Australian workplaces. The KMW examined in this study are subject to numerous forms of subordination in Australian workplaces and society that cannot be adequately explained in terms of their human capital or their gender and cultural differences. The covert nature of the politics of difference within the work place makes exclusionary practices more difficult to identify and discuss. The thesis argues that in order to overcome these problems new policies of multiculturalism and productive diversity need to be developed. It asserts that narrative analytic techniques are an important means by which to inform such policy development.

Abstract:
This study explores the `gendered' process of international migration in Asia. It proposes that gender is one of the principal analytical factors for theoretical conceptualisation in the study of international migration. The study examines the case of Korea, which has been transformed into one of the major labour receiving countries in Asia since the early 1990s, but which has received less attention in the English literature on migration. The aim of the study is to examine the process of international migration in the historical, social and political contexts of Korea, by way of the integration of theoretical analyses with a critical gendered lens. A theoretical framework for this study is based on the observation that theorising the multifaceted process of international migration - which takes place with various interrelated variables - requires multidisciplinary and multidimensional approaches. The study therefore analyses the social formation of the `gendered' process of international migration by looking closely at the three different migratory stages of women migrants: the migratory journey; employment; and settlement in the country of destination. The primary empirical data used in the study were collected during a six-month period of field research - between April and September 2005. Qualitative data were derived from in-depth interviews with 31 migrant women, as well as employers, government officials and NGO workers. Based on a feminist standpoint of the outsider-within, the study locates the lives of migrant women from the margin to centre of the analysis. The empirical study shows that migrant women are `outsiders' who exist `within' the very core of international migration system in which they are, nevertheless, marginalised and silenced. The study suggests that the ostensibly gender-neutral process of migration is gender specific, resulting in different migration experiences between women and men. Gendered and racialised social relationships of power are pervasive in the structure of international migration and state institutions. At the same time, the differently `sedimented' practices of women and men - who strategically draw on institutional rules and resources to facilitate migration - become institutionalised in a gendered way. This, in turn, influences the gendered process of international migration that is reproduced and transformed over time.

Abstract:
This thesis adds to the expanding literature on temporary migration by exploring the temporality of marriage and co-ethnic migration. It uses a combination of ethnography, in-depth interviews and analysis of laws and policies to examine the mobility of Vietnamese and Korean-Chinese (joseonjok) women to South Korea on what this thesis calls ‘temporary ethno-kinship visa programs’. It pays attention to the relationship between cross-border families, the formation and crossing of the border, and migrant women’s intimate labour. This thesis analyses the multiplicity of borders, particularly the multi-step process of crossing the ‘spatio-temporal’ border. Interrogating a temporal element of the border helps us understand new ways in which contemporary borders are spatialised and how the state shapes, reinforces and maintains contemporary borders. Such ‘bordering practices’ include the state placing a temporal limit on one’s visa as part of the system of multiple borders. The borders are no longer just territorial but individualised and dependent on bodily practices and relationships migrants maintain with the citizens and the destination state. Migrant women in South Korea constitute an embodiment of ‘borderlands’ with shifting boundaries drawn according to the relationships they form with South Korean citizens and, ultimately, the state. As a result, Vietnamese marriage migrants (who enter South Korea on the basis of their marriage to South Korean men), and Korean-Chinese migrants (who are granted entry through ‘real’ and ‘imagined’ ethno-kinship relations) experience distinct configurations of borderscape. Migrant women in this study bargain with the state using various forms of intimate labour to cross the border and claim membership of the state. The market functions as a site where the commodification of intimate labour offered by migrant women intersects with the ‘financialisation’ of opportunities to cross the border. This encounter allows migrant women to ‘sell’ their intimate labour and ‘buy’ services to cross the border. Through ethnography and in-depth interviews, this thesis examines how migrants creatively utilise market forces in response to restrictive immigration measures, while bearing the risks and insecurities of the informal market.

Abstract:

This dissertation explored South Korea’s efforts in implementing multicultural education through examining how various stakeholders interpreted and applied multicultural education in relation to creating alternative schools for international marriage migrant women and children of multicultural families. In this research, I discussed multicultural education in South Korea through the lens of US multicultural education theories applied to the South Korean context. I employed the methodology of narrative inquiry to examine (1) two models of alternative multicultural schools for diverse learners, (2) four Korean educators’ perspectives on multicultural education and diverse learners (two of educators were additional participants whose insights were included), and (3) the learning experiences of two marriage migrant women who are mothers.


I applied narrative inquiry by creating narrative as stories (Polkinghorne, 1995). I interviewed six participants over two and half months. The data was transcribed, translated and read iteratively in order to recount rich stories (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000). I created profiles of four participants and narratives of their varied experiences to understand the experience of Korean teachers and international marriage migrant women. Other forms of data included field-notes, document collection (e.g., the alternative school’s curriculum, a Korean government proposal for funding alternative schools, flyers/brochures of two alternative schools), physical artifacts (e.g., photos of events and activities and the text messages of interactions with students and teachers via Korean messenger applications), research journal reflections, and observations of schools and classrooms.


From my analysis, I identified challenges in the implementation of multicultural education in South Korea. First, the current state of the Korean education system is in the process of integrating ideas of multicultural education in its implementation. This ongoing process has culminated in various challenges, frustrations, opportunities, and hopes. Some of the challenges and frustrations for Korean teachers were insufficient teaching resources and the lack of awareness of multicultural education in both alternative and public schools. I also found that marriage migrant women utilized educational opportunities gained through alternative schooling to navigate and reposition themselves to fulfill what they deem as their role as women in Korean society. This research provides insights into multicultural education building a deeper understanding of educational approaches to alternative education for diverse populations in South Korea and around the globe.

Abstract:
The upsurge in auto production near the end of the Korean War continued well into the New Year, which surpassed mid-1950 as the best approximation of a postwar boom. The end of government wartime controls on industrial materials created free market conditions that automakers had long coveted, and Detroit auto plants experienced an acute labor shortage in early 1953. Tens of thousands of migrants from outside Michigan headed to Detroit for auto jobs. Even during the boom, however, black men, all women, and middle-aged applicants experienced employment discrimination. By the end of 1953, autoworkers again found themselves in precarious circumstances as the auto market slackened and layoffs increased.

Abstract:
This study aims to examine the life history of migrant women who have experienced divorce in a socio-cultural context. Five people participated in the study, and they have been living in self-reliance support facilities since their divorce. They were selected from interviews on the life history of 80 married migrant women, which were funded by the Korea Research Foundation from 2017 to 2019. The method of research is a life-historical case study. The results of the study are as follow; first, their marriage was to escape gender hierarchy and poverty in their home country. Therefore, it was confirmed that marriage migration took place within the transnational trend of feminization of migration. Second, self-reliance support facilities provide strong social support for divorced migrant women. As a result, it works as an important space that allows them to escape from voluntary self-exclusion and explore new subjectivity. Suggestions of the implications are as follow; the social support from self-reliance support facilities after divorce is a driving factor that is the subjective and active effort of single-parent migrant women. Discussions should continue that those who are free from the spouses of the people can live as practical and public citizens of Korean society.
