We have reached our capacity for in person attendance. Please email n.acik@mdx.ac.uk to register for online attendance.

Migration studies have increasingly embraced a diverse array of innovative and critical qualitative methods to gain deeper, more nuanced insights into the lived experiences of migrants and refugees. Researchers are moving beyond traditional approaches to explore the complex social, spatial, and temporal dynamics of migration, as well as how individuals and communities navigate, adapt to, and reshape the environments they encounter. From participatory and arts-based practices to digital storytelling and geospatial mapping, these methods help illuminate how migrants use, perceive, and engage with places and facilities in ways that are deeply contextual and evolving.This workshop showcases a range of innovative qualitative methods used in recent migration research, highlighting how these approaches have been developed and applied in practice, along with the methodological challenges and opportunities they present. Aimed at postgraduate students and researchers from diverse disciplines, the session offers insights into how such methods can enrich understandings of mobility and displacement—whether used alongside quantitative approaches or to deepen existing qualitative inquiry. Participants will hear directly from researchers reflecting on their field experiences and methodological innovations.This is an hybrid event.Please register for free to receive the full programme and link to the workshop.Deadline for in person registration: 15 May 2025Organisers:Dr Necla Acik, Research Fellow, Middlesex Univeristy.Prof. Eleonore Kofman, Professor of Gender, Migration and Citizenship, Middlesex University.For inquiries please contact: n.acik@mdx.ac.uk
