As migration studies are increasingly challenged to confront the inequalities embedded in knowledge production, feminist, intersectional and post/decolonial perspectives offer new ways of researching and teaching migration.
Bringing together contributors from sociology, political science, geography and anthropology, this interdisciplinary volume explores how these approaches can be combined to develop more critical and emancipatory scholarship.
Combining theoretical debate with methodological reflection and empirical case studies, the book examines the coloniality of migration and asylum regimes, researchers’ positionalities and critical pedagogies for teaching migration. It offers emancipatory perspectives on how migration can be studied, taught and understood, making it an essential resource for students and researchers across the social sciences.
