I am a Ph.D. student at the University of Toronto doing research for my
thesis. I want to know more about the role of language and identity in
the lives of second-generation Portuguese-Canadian youth. I am doing a
case study of six to eight young people of Azorean and Mainland
Portuguese background, born in Canada of Portuguese parents and living
in Toronto or Mississauga who will allow me to interview and observe
them in different settings from September 2005 to September 2006. You
do
not need to speak Portuguese to participate and your
confidentiality is guaranteed.
General topics to be discussed include:
- describing the role of language
(Portuguese/English/other) in different parts of your life (at home, at
work, at school, with friends, etc.)
- describing your experiences and involvement, if
any, in the Portuguese-Canadian community
- describing your thoughts on what it means to be
Portuguese in Canada and if/how it differs from your
parents/family/friends
