The Immigrant Organising Process: Turkish Organisations in Amsterdam and Berl…

Mobilites of Return: Pacific Perspectives

For scholars engaged in the multidisciplinary topics and perspectives now often embraced by the term Pacific Studies, it has been a much more longstanding and persistent concern.

Labour Lines and Colonial Power: Indigenous and Pacific Islander Labour Mobil…

Chapter 8 Categorising What We Study and What We Analyse, and the Exercise of…
A lot of qualitative researchers have a healthy wariness about straightforward categorisation and modelling endeavours undertaken by quantitative researchers. Too often, variables and measurements are too rigid in quantitative analysis to take stock of all the complexity and context-dependency of human behaviour, attitudes and identities. In the worst-case scenario for migration studies, this l…
