How Can the Insights from Other Disciplines Enhance Sociological Research on Migration

Abstract Submissions Closed

RC31 Sociology of Migration (host committee)

Language: English


We are repeatedly reminded about the advantages of interdisciplinary approaches to the study of international migration, yet most of us unself-reflexively continue to pursue our research in our set, field-specific ways.
The purpose of this session is to provide concrete illustrations of the gains we can derive from applying to the sociological study of migration the specific concepts, interpretative frameworks, research methods and/or empirical findings used as heuristic guideposts taken from other disciplines: political science, history, geography, psychology, literary studies, etc.
