项目摘要

The UK has been a member of the European Union for 40 years. Throughout that time there has been intermingling of people and institutions which can be most clearly seen in the growing number of bi- and mixed-nationality EU families in the UK and their children, many of whom born in the UK and holding a British passport. This is a growing, and yet understudied and underreported, segment of the British society. In a post-EU referendum context, where the rhetoric about curbing EU immigration has permeated political, media, and popular discourses, producing a stark 'us and them' narrative, the question left unasked and unanswered is what are the human and emotional costs of this abrupt geopolitical shift if 'us and them' are the same? Through the study of Eurochildren and their families and their experience and responses to Brexit, the project aims to portrait the emergence of a new politics of belonging which reconfigures discursively and legally who belong to a post-EU Britain and establish a baseline for future research on migration and settlement decision making in families with EU27 nationals following the formal exit of the European Union. In order to do so, it will:1) Profile and map the population of UK- and EU-born children of EU nationals in the UK and examine, at the aggregate level, different types of EU families and measure their socio-economic inclusion into British society.2) Investigate how families with at least one EU27 member experience and respond to the process of exiting from the European Union and identify factors that shape such responses.3) Examine the impact of the EU referendum and its aftermath on different age cohorts of UK-born Eurochildren, examining in particular how they articulate their sense of belonging and attitudes vis-á-vis the UK and the EU.With a team comprising academic experts in the fields of migration and integration, third sector collaborators and legal experts, and using a mixed methods approach, this project provides an empirically-rich and in-depth account of how EU families, often including both UK and EU passport holders and members with dual citizenship, experience and plan to respond to Brexit, a baseline from which to further analyse the process family migration decision making following the formal exit from the EU.The project involves three interconnected work packages (WP). WP1, which is of a quantitative nature, will analyse historical Census and Live Birth data in order to profile and geographically map EU families and their children. Different configurations of EU families, based on their demographic, geographical, and inclusion circumstances, will be established via this data and will inform the qualitative work in WP2 and 3 and our analysis of legal and policy implications of Brexit on this population. In WP2 focus groups and in-depth interviews will be conducted with EU families, as well as reflexive research, in order to explore questions of belonging within the context of the exit from the EU. In WP3, interview with UK-born adult Eurochildren and EU-born parents of Eurochildren will be conducted in order to bring to the fore the ways in which children experience migration decision-making and belonging. This mixed methods study will generate ground-breaking new data on EU families and their EU and UK-born children in the UK, contributing to the strategic, political and policy responses of UK and EU policy makers and to a more informed public debate on the consequences of Brexit on UK and EU citizens alike.The project includes a strategy set to maximise dissemination and impact. This will be done via: producing robust, composite and promptly accessible evidence (journal articles, blogs, briefings, media and online materials); engaging from the outset with a wide network of researchers, policy makers and practitioners; and using tailored dissemination channels to reach out to relevant audiences.

英国成为欧盟成员国已有40年。在这段时间里，人们和机构的混合可以在英国越来越多的双国籍和混合国籍欧盟家庭及其子女中最清楚地看到，其中许多人出生在英国并持有英国护照。这是一个不断增长的，但研究和报道不足的英国社会部分。在后欧盟公投的背景下，关于遏制欧盟移民的言论已经渗透到政治，媒体和流行话语中，产生了一种鲜明的“我们和他们”叙事，没有提出和回答的问题是，如果“我们和他们”是一样的，这种突然的地缘政治转变的人力和情感成本是什么？通过对Eurochildren及其家庭的研究，以及他们对英国脱欧的经历和反应，该项目旨在描绘一种新的归属政治的出现，这种政治在话语上和法律上重新配置了属于后欧盟英国的人，并为未来研究欧盟27国公民正式退出欧盟后的移民和定居决策建立了基线。为此，它将：1）描述和绘制英国和欧盟出生的欧盟公民在英国的子女人口，并在总体水平上研究不同类型的欧盟家庭，并衡量他们在英国社会中的社会经济融入程度。2）调查至少有一个欧盟27国成员的家庭如何经历和应对退出欧盟的过程，并确定形成这种反应的因素。特别是研究他们如何表达他们的归属感和对维斯英国和欧盟。与一个由移民和融合领域的学术专家、第三部门合作者和法律的专家组成的团队，并使用混合方法，这个项目提供了一个丰富的和深入的说明欧盟家庭，通常包括英国和欧盟护照持有人和双重国籍的成员，经验和计划，以应对英国脱欧，一个基线，从其中进一步分析的过程家庭移民决策后，正式退出欧盟。该项目涉及三个相互关联的工作包（WP）。WP 1是一个定量性质的项目，将分析历史人口普查和活产数据，以了解欧盟家庭及其子女的概况和地理分布。欧盟家庭的不同配置，基于他们的人口，地理和包容性的情况，将通过这些数据建立，并将告知WP 2和3的定性工作，以及我们对英国脱欧对这一人群的法律的和政策影响的分析。在WP 2中，将与欧盟家庭进行焦点小组和深入访谈，以及反思性研究，以探讨退出欧盟背景下的归属问题。在WP 3中，将对英国出生的成年欧洲儿童和欧洲儿童在欧盟出生的父母进行采访，以突出儿童经历移民决策和归属感的方式。这项混合方法研究将产生关于欧盟家庭及其在英国的欧盟和英国出生的孩子的开创性新数据，有助于英国和欧盟政策制定者的战略，政治和政策反应，并就英国脱欧对英国和欧盟公民的影响进行更明智的公众辩论。该项目包括一套策略，以最大限度地扩大传播和影响。这将通过以下方式实现：制作可靠、综合和可迅速获取的证据（期刊文章、博客、简报、媒体和在线材料）;从一开始就与研究人员、决策者和从业人员的广泛网络接触;以及使用量身定制的传播渠道接触相关受众。
