“Formation of minority identity of women in Vojvodina”

The project is aimed at doing a systematic analysis of the influences which significantly contribute to the formation of the ethnic identity of minority women in Vojvodina. Under the supervision of professor Zolt Lazar, Karolina Lendak – Kabok will examine how the 1990s influenced the identity formation of ethnic minorities with special focus on gender differences. The intergenerational transfer of ethnic and cultural identity is often considered a female task, mainly through the role of motherhood, therefore the secondary aim of the project is to shed light on the role of mothers from minority communities in today’s society when it comes to preserving ethnic identity and transferring its attributes to younger generations.  The mothers’ role  will be compared to the role of fathers concerning the issue in question. The interviewiees will be members of ethnic minorities born between 1980 and 1990 in Vojvodina, with a special reference to women’s role in preserving minority identities. The research will be conducted using semi-structured interviews. After a thoruogh literature reivew in a field of minority and gender studies, an interview grid with pre-formulated questions will be created in order to guide the course of the interivews.  No less than 25 respondents will participate in the research. Interviews will be conducted with both women and men from minority communities. Respondents will be identified using the snowball method. Interviews will be transcribed, and the texts will be coded. After coding, a detailed analysis and quantification of codes will be introduced. In order to work as efficiently as possible, qualitative analysis will be done in the Atlas.ti software package.
