Abstract

This article summarizes my doctoral project, which investigates the way first generation individual
migrants balance their simultaneous presence of both home and host country. The
theoretical frame of the project draws from methodological de-nationalism and alternative
readings of concepts of place and space, which are described in the first part of the article. The
second part focuses on explaining how COVID-19 affected the methodology of the project,
describing all the methods and the way of their application in an online setting. Finally, the article
describes online alternatives to existing qualitative methods in migration related research
and its potential benefits.
