This workshop aims to bring early-careers researchers together to:
Discuss the implications of fragmenting and shifting sites of bordering for evolving methodologies and claims to knowledge;
Reflect on recent developments in and critiques of the use of qualitative research in migration studies and border criminology, and discuss how early-career researchers might learn from these critiques when conducting empirical research; and,
Develop novel approaches to qualitative methods through participative collaboration.
In the morning, speakers will present their work with participant Q&A. In the afternoon, participants will be split into facilitated groups to engage in collaborative discussions on the workshop’s aims. If you wish to present in the morning session, please submit a short paper abstract (max 300 words, 5 keywords), as well as a short bio including your name, contact details, and institutional affiliation by the 13th of May 2022.
