“…The interviews were transcribed in Italian by the authors. Instead of creating verbatim transcripts, the authors relied on systematic and reflexive interview reports as a transcription strategy (see Kalocsányiová & Shatnawi, 2022;Loubere, 2017). Prior to the analysis, direct identifiers such as names, place names and workplace information were removed from the data.…”

Young, skilled and educated Italians have been emigrating in record numbers: About 160,000 Italians moved abroad in 2018 alone. While much of recent research focused on the economic drivers of this spatial mobility, this article explores highly skilled Italians’ mobile life projects from a gender perspective. Our study was guided by the following research questions: How do mobility and migration intersect with gender relations and career success in the lives of highly skilled Italians living abroad? What role does gender play in highly skilled Italians’ decisions about moving and staying abroad? Our research, which drew on semistructured in-depth interviews conducted with 51 university graduates, was part of a larger study of the determinants and trends in the new migration of the highly skilled from Tuscany, a region in Italy. Using Strauss and Corbin’s three-stage coding process to analyze the interviews, we identified four core themes of particular concern to participants when comparing Italy with the contexts they encountered abroad: gender-sensitive culture in the workplace, strategic and dialogic mobile life projects, impact of state and workplace policies and (subjective) age vis-à-vis temporariness. Our results both confirmed the findings of previous studies and prompted new questions in need of further investigation, such as experiences of gender (in)equality and their power to transform short-term mobility into mobile life projects or permanent migration, dual-career couples’ spatial mobility, and the impact of mobility on normative beliefs about key life events.

“…Thus, the voices of the young people, to whom we wanted to reach out, are larging missing in the case study chapters in this volume. Given concerns for refugees being rendered voiceless in research (Chatty, 2016;Kalocsányiová & Shatnawi, 2022), future research networks, especially those working in contexts of conflict and forced migration, need to be more attentive to the inclusion of multilingual data in publications and other disseminated work to fully understand experiences associated with loss of language, culture, heritage.…”

Working in a multilingual, multinational, and multidisciplinary project invites questions concerning the role of languages among the researchers, participants and stakeholders involved in the project. In this chapter, we attempt to explore how colleagues in the network project understood the role of their own linguistic resources, and those of others included in their research: for example, decisions about using multiple languages in literature searches and reviews; linguistic decisions in the field when working with the multiple languages of participants and other stakeholders; in collaborations within the research team; and in producing academic and stakeholder outputs. In previous work, Holmes and colleagues had come to realise that decisions concerning how researchers draw on their linguistic resources in their research are largely made tacitly; or decisions may be shaped by structural and linguistic hegemonies, often in ways that go uncontested or cannot be contested, in the contexts where the research is produced, or later, where it is to be published (Holmes et al., 2013;Andrews et al., 2020;Holmes et al., 2022). Furthermore, Meyer Pitton and Schedel (2022, in press) comment that decisions about language choice and publication within research teams are rarely discussed.In this chapter, we draw on the experiences of the researchers who were part of our transnational network to explore processes of researching multilingually in an attempt to uncover researchers' perspectives on these matters. Our aim is to provide an ethical stance towards multilingual researcher practices in a multilingual network of researchers, who in this case, are working in contexts of conflict, forced migration, economic marginalisation, and occupation. First, we discuss the research context and chapter aims, followed by our research method. We then present the researchers' responses (the languages in the project, and participants' experiences of drawing on multiple linguistic resources during various phases of the project. We finish with conclusions and recommendations to other researchers on incorporating an ethic of researching multilingually in their work.
