Vi samlade vår data genom kvalitativa forskningsintervjuer och data analyserades med tematisk analys. Respondenterna som vi intervjuade var studenter från Mittuniversitet med utländsk härkomst. Vi höll intervjuerna i grupprummen på Mittuniversitetet. Inspelning av intervjuerna varierade mellan 20–40 minuter. Resultatet av vår studie visade att respondenterna i diaspora använder digitala medier för att bekräfta sin identitet, skapa hybrid identiteter och upprätthållning av sin identitet.
