Next Wednesday, January 25th 2012, Research Coordinator Haley McEwen will depart Johannesburg en route to the USA where she will interview relocated South Africans for an iNCUDISA project funded by the National Research Foundation. The fieldwork will last just over one month with the aim of finding out about the experiences of integration into, and perceptions of, American culture and society amongst South African expats.
If you know of any South Africans living in or around Boston, Seattle, Atlanta, Detroit, or Irvine, please email Haley or Melissa! Or, if you are a friend of iNCUDISA who happens to be living in one of those areas, let us know! Haley would love to catch up between interviews 
Watch this space for the dissemination of findings!
