Few researchers today would question the necessity of reflexivity or the idea that knowledge production is always situated. In migration studies, in particular, reflexive approaches and the involvement in societal contestations over migration have become highly debated issues, not least because the field has been criticised for its potential to reproduce hegemonic power relations.

This volume, a product of IMISCOE’s Standing Committee ‘Reflexivities in Migration Studies’, contributes to these discussions by opening new and original avenues of inquiry. The contributions in this interdisciplinary anthology offer more than state-of-the-art reflections. Rather than merely identifying pitfalls and theorising the challenges of knowledge production in migration studies, they propose concrete alternatives. By exploring innovative forms of producing knowledge on migration-related questions, they seek to transform the epistemological, theoretical, and methodological foundations of the field.
