How to Do Migration Research

The field of migration studies has rapidly and significantly expanded, thus contributing to enrich our understanding of the multiple facets of human mobility. Research on migration patterns, processes, impacts, and policies has been conducted from diverse disciplinary outlooks, at conceptual and/or empirical levels, within and across countries, and employing a wide array of quantitative, qualitative, or mixed methods, data, and techniques. This workshop seeks to offer an overview of the book How to Do Migration Research, whose main aim is to provide students, early-career researchers, and, more broadly, all those wishing to contribute to the migration scholarship, with a basic toolkit of fundamental questions and challenges they will encounter during the research process.
