Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal examines the multifaceted nature of migration, focusing on the experiences of asylum seekers and refugees. It analyzes the systemic structures and policies that govern migration, including the "Anti-Refugee Machine" (ARM) framework, which describes how interventions can reinforce power structures and perpetuate inequalities. The journal also explores the social, political, and ethical dimensions of migration, such as epistemic violence in asylum decision-making, the role of digital technologies in border control, and the impact of punitive asylum policies. Furthermore, it investigates the lived realities of migrants, including issues of precarity, violence, resistance, community-building, and the search for well-being and integration.
