Migration Studies

Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Migration Studies examines the multifaceted nature of human mobility, encompassing the experiences of migrants, the policies governing their movement, and the societal impacts of migration. The journal explores themes of identity negotiation, cultural belonging, and exclusion within diasporic communities. It also investigates the complex interplay between national controls and regional frameworks for free movement, as well as the role of immigration bureaucracies in demonstrating accountability. Furthermore, the journal addresses the political participation of migrants, both transnationally and within host societies, and analyzes the social and temporal dimensions of transit spaces and forced displacement. The journal also considers the influence of media and cinema on perceptions of migration, the policy-making processes related to immigration, and the challenges of integration and labor market access for both first and second-generation immigrants. Finally, it delves into the governance of expulsion, the lived realities of climate-induced displacement, and the geopolitical dimensions of asylum policies.
