Reflexivities and Knowledge Production in Migration Studies: Pitfalls and Alternatives

---

\"Reflexivities and Knowledge Production in Migration Studies: Pitfalls and Alternatives\" is a cutting-edge open-access volume that critically examines the boundedness, structural asymmetries, and deeply political character of knowledge production within contemporary migration scholarship. Moving beyond a mere critique or mapping of the \\\"reflexive turn\\\" in social sciences, the book focuses heavily on identifying functional, practical, and epistemological alternatives to the deeply rooted biases that often compromise empirical neutrality.\\r\\nThe text is structured into comprehensive parts exploring critical themes such as structural positionality, Euro/US-centrism, and the political entanglements of state-sponsored migration policies. The contributing global experts thoroughly analyze complex issues including racism embedded within academia, language-based hegemony (particularly from the Francophone and Anglophone perspectives), and the problematic ethical trade-offs between academic care and institutional harm. By shifting focus toward co-creating research layouts alongside refugees, adopting double-reflexivity practices, and recentering perspectives from the Global South, this volume provides students, senior sociologists, and public policymakers with an indispensable roadmap to transform academic scholarship and alter established power dynamics worldwide.
