Research Group Session 2: Progress, Pitfalls, and Promises of Political Science in Migration and Citizenship Research (Invite Only)

Session Submission Type: Research Group

Abstract

The Research group/workshop aims to gather academic colleagues, researchers, and also practitioners at different stages of their careers to reflect and debate about research problems/issues in the area of migration (international human mobility) and citizenship. It focuses on the pitfalls and promises of political science in this field of research, but it will also analyze its progress during the last two decades. We welcome works-in-progress that examine 1) new theoretical approaches and promising theories that may lead the next generation of scholars in the study of migration (in political science subfields such as comparative politics, IR, political theory, public policy, or public law or work across disciplines); 2) methodological innovations, new research designs and their application to the field of migration that account for new dynamics, and also for promising valuable solutions to old problems, such as measuring irregular stayers, integration policies pitfalls, etc.; and 3) other under-researched areas that call for the attention of scholars and practitioners (especially issues of governance and international governance of human mobility and the so-called public policy gaps). The output of the workshop will be a collection of papers that will be the basis for a special issue of a journal/review specialized in political science or migration/citizenship.
