PhD Project
Honour related violence in The Netherlands; the rise and development of a new organizational field.
After a series of honour killings in the Netherlands the Dutch government, strengthened by the general attention for the integration and emancipation of migrant women in the public debate, started up an interdepartmental programme to combat honour related violence (HRV) in 2006. However, the government is not the only actor involved; the complexity of the problem leads to the involvement of a divers group of actors, like the police, women shelters, migrant organizations, schools and municipalities. The research concentrates on the way this group of actors create a new organizational field, in which they, by negotiation, develop a social and cultural order. Within this research the focus is on the way different actors attribute meaning to or frame the problem of honour related violence in the Netherlands. Subsequently I am interested in how actors try to make their way of framing the problem the dominant way of framing within the involved organizational field. To examine the introduced problem I will analyze the discourse and discursive practices of the involved actors. Data collection involves qualitative research methods, like in-depth interviews with representatives of the involved organizations; observations of discursive practices during relevant meetings and finally the collection of policy documents, organizational documents and media documents as products of discursive practices.
