What post-positivism, critical realism and structuration can offer to migration studies
NB The workshop has limited spaces. Please register your interest with Agnieszka Kubal by 20 February.
The series was born out of our dissatisfaction with separation between migration studies, as an avenue for intellectual exploration, and broader currents of social theory.
Among the first workshop participants there was considerable enthusiasm for developing post-positivist approaches which could be applied to migration research. It was, however, recognised that there are many hurdles yet to tackle, particularly relating to the approach’s theoretical and methodological robustness.
The main aim of this second workshop is to explore in-depth the notions of emergence and social becoming; social systems and migration systems; agency; and, causality and causal mechanisms (for full justification of the themes please refer to the first workshop report).
A report of the second workshop will be published online in May 2012.
