Transnational Multisited Qualitative Longitudinal Study in Migrating Local Communities

Summary/Abstract: Post-accession migration of Poles observed at the local level is complementary with wider social change of Polish post-communist and post-EU enlargement society. Migration processes are components of soft modernization, well seen through the lens of social remittances which stand for all non-material resources such as norms, values, skills, and practices which are transferred between destination and origin. In order to capture them, specific methodology needs to be applied which has been defined in this article as transnational multisited qualitative longitudinal study (QLS). The detailed analysis of methodological procedure got illustrated by empirical accounts of social impact of migration on selected local communities in Poland. The application of QLS unlocks window of opportunities for getting an in-depth access to the heart of migratory processes on both meso and micro levels and facilitates the reconstruction of roles of individuals in these processes.
