As the field of migration studies has grown, the asymmetrical
relationship between researchers in the Global North and in the South
has produced a body of work that centres the concerns of the former.
Those from the Global North and wealthier countries continue to
produce the greater portion of this research, while research from
Global South scholars with lived experiences as migrants is received
as anecdotal or too niche to have universal application. Knowledge,
Power, and Migration assembles researchers from across the divide to
question the ways in which research practices can change the
conversation on immigration. It encourages a necessary curiosity about
how scholarship in the field can shape global, social, and epistemic
justice. Migration is a constant in human history, but the sharp
decline in permanent resettlement options, increasingly selective
criteria, and violent enforcement measures of the twenty-first century
constitute a crisis of immigration policy. Only by redressing the
inequalities it shares with global governance structures can the
discipline confront this historic challenge. Research on immigration
can occasion reflections and practices that challenge epistemic
injustices. Knowledge, Power, and Migration contributes to this
ongoing project while offering insights on the practical organization
of new forms of dialogue on migration in a largely unequal world.
