This code captures all references to moving from one country to another, including emotions related to feeling foreign or otherwise different, difficulties adapting to new society or culture, and connecting to new social networks. In the code system window, click on the little green label icon with the plus sign and enter "immigration experience" as the code name. So let's try defining a code named "immigration experience". For the author of Awkward Lunch, immigration meant feeling isolated from his peers, needing to adjust to all kinds of new things, and relying on friends to help stabilize his daily experience. In this set of stories, however, we're looking at stories of being in between, and I think that focusing on the physical move would not capture other aspects of the immigration experience.
One approach might be to focus on the physical act of moving from one country to another. An obvious theme in this story is immigration, but there are many different ways we could define a code for immigration. You've already written memos on this story and I've read it a few times. Let's go back to the story, Awkward Lunch. Even when the theme is identified deductively though, I would argue that your code definition will usually evolve as you interact with the data, such that the definition was developed inductively. This is natural, since our studies typically begin with specific objectives and aims which are guided by theory and prior research. In public health, we often come to an analysis project with deductive themes in mind.
