This creative-critical research project will look at the ways displaced individuals (and specifically young adults) use artefacts to assert imaginative and emotional control over their experiences of migration.The creative project will be a historical YA novel centring on the experiences of verdingkinder in 1930s Switzerland and particularly on the relationship between three displaced children and the artefact they steal. The critical element will make a detailed examination of migratory YA fiction and consider the ways in which refugees (and the children of diaspora communities) relate to objects, using them to process emotion and forge new social connections.Drawing on extensive experience in children's educational settings (including schools, museums and refugee camps in Gaza and elsewhere), the whole project will explore a range of imaginative responses to artefacts and how these shape conversations around identity, trauma, migration and artefact repatriation.

这个创意批判的研究项目将着眼于流离失所的个人（特别是年轻人）如何使用人工制品来对他们的移民经历进行想象力和情感控制。这个创意项目将是一部历史性的YA小说，以20世纪30年代瑞士的verdingkinder的经历为中心，特别是三个流离失所的孩子和他们偷来的人工制品之间的关系。关键因素将作出详细审查移民雅小说，并考虑难民的方式（以及散居社区的儿童）与物体产生联系，利用物体处理情感并建立新的社会联系。（包括加沙和其他地方的学校、博物馆和难民营），整个项目将探讨对人工制品的一系列富有想象力的反应，以及这些反应如何塑造围绕身份、创伤、移民和人工制品遣返的对话。
