| Summary: | This project was designed to study the lifestyle migration of British migrants in Thailand and Malaysia and Hong Kong Chinese migrants to mainland China. With a focus on the meanings, motivations and outcomes of lifestyle migration in Asian contexts, the goal was to tell practice stories. Practice stories explain a phenomenon by describing how it develops over time as norms, rules and organisational arrangements are acted on and adapted by individuals as part of their daily lives, in the context of their communities, groups, networks and families. This article provides an explanation of the research project and its initial aims; describes what is meant by practice stories, and indicates their role in the design of the research. |
