28 August 2006
Ban Ibrahim is writing her MA dissertation, exploring the construction and contestation of 'identity' among second-generation Iraqis living in Britain, and analysing how the 2003 invasion of Iraq may have affected these senses of identity.
As part of her research, she is interviewing people aged 17-25. The interviews are 100% confidential, they are not recorded, and if she uses any of the interviewees' quotes then a pseudonym will be used. The whole thing will only take about 20 minutes, and she is willing to travel to wherever the interviewee is located.
