Guest Editor’s Introduction for Special Dossier on Uncertain Mobilities

Abstract

Uncertain Mobilities as a special dossier for Migration and Diversity journal originates from the workshop with the same name I organized at the Department of Sociology, University of Siegen in October 2022. The second day of the workshop witnessed participation from early career scholars, including doctoral and postdoctoral researchers, who presented their ongoing research outcomes based on fieldwork conducted across the continents. The day-long discussion paved the way for several subsequent discussions that some of us also pushed further in individual academic publications. As a group of scholars invested in uncertainties and risks in migration research we observed growing interest among academic peers to engage further in this discourse. This special issue is a long-drawn outcome of this collective interest, which authors presenting at the workshop and outside have contributed.
