“…There are multiple definitions of a migration background, either depending on nationality, migration, or both. Categorizations are generally problematic, as they can be stigmatizing and may lead to exclusions [ 63 , 64 ]. Evidence of experiences of discrimination in the education system, in vocational training, in the media, in the housing market in the context of migration background is available [ 64 ].…”

Mental illnesses in adolescence and young adulthood are steadily increasing. Thus, mental disorders represent an individual and societal challenge and an enormous health economic burden, creating an urgent need for research and action. Mental health problems are omnipresent in the life of young people and the internet is the first resource, which helps them to understand their situation. Young people with migration background often have more difficulties accessing health care services. Digital technologies offer an ideal opportunity for a low-threshold platform that addresses the needs of young people. The current project “GeKo:mental” aims to design a multilingual website for Cologne-based adolescents and young adults that will enable them to obtain comprehensive information about mental illness and health, treatment options and first contact points. To design this website, this study aims to find out what kind of health information is needed and how it should best be presented. Nine focus group discussions with adolescents and young adults with and without migration background (N = 68) were conducted; the focus group discussions took place at schools, in an association for social youth work and in an cultural association, which is linked to a mosque in Cologne, Germany. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on the gathered material. The participants reported concrete challenges and needs. The results will form the basis for the development and design of a website.

“…Especially when it comes to job search, studies have already shown that applicants with a migration background are disadvantaged by employers. This seems to be especially the case for people from African, Arabic and Muslim countries of origin [ 37 , 38 ].…”

“…These included being denied a work permit or health insurance. Even if these cases of discrimination are legally permissible or explicitly required by law—for example in the case of access to the labor market [ 38 ]—these forms of discrimination were among the most burdensome for the young people. Students also reported on institutional discrimination in the school context.…”

Discrimination has a negative impact on mental health and wellbeing of persons affected. The aim of the present study was to investigate perceived discrimination of migrant adolescents. Focus groups with migrant adolescents were conducted, audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. The transcripts were analyzed using the manifest qualitative content analysis by Mayring. The foci of interest (persons discriminated against and by whom, where and how the discrimination took place, which behavioral and emotional reactions the affected persons showed to the experiences and which reasons they assumed for the discrimination) were determined based on the pre-defined guideline, and inductive subcategories were extracted from the transcripts and grouped into main categories. Five focus groups with students with migration background (n = 35, 13 females, mean age: 18.78, SD = 2.26, range 16–24) were conducted. The adolescents in our focus groups and their acquaintances (families and friends) experienced discrimination in Germany in several forms (verbal and non-verbal), places and on an individual as well as institutional level, with an impact on their emotional well-being. To combat discrimination, culturally sensitive information must be provided on the part of those affected as well as their perpetrators.

“…Analysing the interview situation as an example of an encounter within a racist society (El-Mafaalani, 2017), we perceive it as a potential setting of everyday-life racism to be experienced by the interview partners due to the research question and our positionality as researchers: Three academics who can be read as Austrians holding jobs in academia are interviewing equally highly qualified migrants from CEE member states about their experiences of being denied commensurate jobs in and by the Austrian labour market. The interview situation as such is thus at risk to be in itself an experience of everyday discrimination for the interview partners, because it may reproduce othering and racialised positions of power.…”

Based on our longitudinal, in‐depth qualitative research focusing on the social construction of deskilling among highly educated migrants from Central and Eastern European (CEE) member states of the European Union, we will discuss in this article the positioning of the interview partners within the interview situation as interrelated to societal racialised power asymmetries. In this contribution, we exemplify that critical migration research can only be carried out when we reflect on our methods accordingly. To do so, we discuss actual evidence from this ongoing research project: While we see that many of our interview partners from new EU member states are reluctant to point to negative experiences in our conversations, we want to highlight that the potentiality of discrimination is part of the interview setting in our research and thus co‐constructs the empirical data. By analysing a variety of discursive positioning strategies employed by our interview partners that can be understood as strategies to avoid anticipated discrimination, we aim to fulfil the promise of methodological reflexivity and thus contribute to the quality of interview research in the context of migration studies. The aim of this contribution is thus twofold: We want to contribute to methodological discussions as well as refine current research focussing on the racist experiences of CEE migrants.
