Navigating the labour market in a new context can be a challenge for any migrant, and particularly so for former refugees,
who are often unable to find employment appropriate for their qualification and experience levels. This study takes an Interactional
Sociolinguistic approach to exploring how three former refugees navigate employability in narrative, from the social constructionist
perspective of employable identities, emergent from and negotiated within discourse. The study focuses specifically on the
participants’ discursive navigation of their various (Bourdieusian) social and cultural capital and its importance to labour market
performance. Evident in the data are the difficulties of translating – or having recognised – a lifetime’s accumulation of capital, often
rendered worthless upon migration. Such challenges impact upon forced migrants’ ability to successfully enact employability, and
subsequently upon their imagined (future) identities. This research highlights former refugees’ complex challenges involved with successful
navigation of employability in a new context.
期刊介绍:
Narrative Inquiry is devoted to providing a forum for theoretical, empirical, and methodological work on narrative. Articles appearing in Narrative Inquiry draw upon a variety of approaches and methodologies in the study of narrative as a way to give contour to experience, tradition, and values to next generations. Particular emphasis is placed on theoretical approaches to narrative and the analysis of narratives in human interaction, including those practiced by researchers in psychology, linguistics and related disciplines.
