Abstract

There is evidence that in-group biases affect our perception of belongingness and can cause emotional pain, individual suffering, and societal damage (Billig and Tajfel, 1973; Hohman et al, 2017). For this study, a qualitative approach was used to investigate what it means to find a home in an unfamiliar place.
