日本におけるネパール人移民労働者のケーススタディー

我的博士研究项目“日本尼泊尔移民工人的案例研究”将研究在日本尼泊尔餐馆担任厨师的尼泊尔移民的独特特征，他们被日本移民局归类为“熟练劳工（厨师）”。东京已经有500多家尼泊尔餐馆，而且这个数字还在增加。根据我的研究计划，我于2015年4月在尼泊尔进行我的研究实地工作。当我在尼泊尔进行实地考察时，2015年4月25日和5月12日，尼泊尔发生了毁灭性的地震。在地震灾害中，我受了伤，失去了我的野外工作资料和野外工作设备，但我幸运地活了下来。我位于尼泊尔多拉卡地区的房子在地震中完全倒塌了。由于地震的这种意外情况，我无法按照我的研究计划收集实地资料。我再次在尼泊尔（加德满都和马尔玛村）进行了为期一个月（2015年10月）的实地调查，以恢复我在尼泊尔的移民家庭情况的实地调查数据。最后，我几乎完成了我的田野调查和收集数据的任务。然而，由于去年的地震灾害，我不能写我的论文。我患有PTSD (Post tram Stress Disorder)，仍然无法集中精力写论文。我参加了五次国际会议/工作坊/研讨会，展示我的研究成果。利用田野调查的数据，目前我正在写我的博士论文。我计划在明年完成它。

My PhD research project "A case study of Nepali migrant workers in Japan" will examine the unique characteristics of Nepali migrants working as cooks in Nepali restaurants in Japan, who are categorized by Japanese immigration authority as "skilled labor (cook)". There are already more than a 500 Nepali restaurants in Tokyo, and that number is still increasing.Based on my research plan, I have been in Nepal to conduct my research fieldwork in April 2015. When I was conducting the fieldwork in Nepal, the devastating earthquake hit Nepal in 25th April and 12th May 2015. In the earthquake disaster, I got injured and have lost my fieldwork data as well as fieldwork equipment, however I luckily survive. My house, located in Dolakha district Nepal has completely collapsed due to the earthquake. Because of this unexpected circumstance of the earthquake I could not collect fieldwork data as my research planed. I have again conducted fieldwork in Nepal (Kathmandu and Malma village) for a month (October 2015) to recover my fieldwork data on the migrants’ families’ situation in Nepal. Finally, I have almost completed my fieldwork and task of collecting data. However, I could not write my thesis in the last year because of the earthquake disaster. I was suffered from PTSD (Post Trams Stress Disorder) and still could not concentrate on writing the thesis.I have attended at fives international conferences/workshops/seminars to present my research findings. Using the fieldwork data, currently I am writing my PhD dissertation. I am planning to complete it by next year.
