“…Is institutionalisation necessarily a 'good thing'; doesn't the institutionalisation of migration studies really mean homogenisation? While our research over the past 2 years (Levy et al 2020a(Levy et al , 2020bPisarevskaya et al 2019;Levy 2020) indicates that it has not meant homogenisation, this risk still remains. Commentary series such as this one and its predecessors offer a stimulus for critical reflection on migration studies and, though a small contribution to this enormous field, the chance to mitigate and minimize that risk.…”

In this rejoinder for this special issue, we enter into dialogue with the various commentaries that our article "Between Fragmentation and Institutionalisation" received. In doing so, we address some of the commonly-identified limitations of our paper and clarify the interpretation of some of our findings. This includes key issues such as the uneven internationalisation of migration studies, the need to reveal a broader variety of disciplinary contributions to the field, and the need for some further clarification of the results of the co-citation analysis and caveats of its interpretation.

“…This is evident not only in the surging volume of scientific projects (Isernia et al, 2018;Morales et al, 2020) and publications (Pisarevskaya et al, 2020;Pritchard et al, 2019) but also in the continuously growing number of dedicated postgraduate programs. In line with this expansion, research centers focusing specifically on migration-related issues have been established or consolidated in many countries, and the International Migration Research Network (IMISCOE) has grown from 24 founding institutes in 2004 to 61 institutional members in 2022 (IMISCOE, 2022;Levy, 2020).…”

Introduction: Using Innovative Technologies to Tackle Methodological Challenges in Migration Research

In this introductory chapter, the editors suggest that the increasing need for rigorous data on international migration warrants enhanced co-operation between migration scholars, survey methodologists, and data scientists. Innovative information and communication technology, it is argued, may contribute substantially to improving the design and implementation of migrant surveys, and digital trace data may complement traditional data sources in promising ways. These claims are substantiated in nine contributions, all of which are based on first-hand experience with data collection and processing. Some chapters discuss innovative strategies for improving sample designs and resolving survey design issues, whereas others address the emerging role of large-scale datasets that were generated for reasons alien to migration research.

The Moral Economies of Reflexive Migration Studies

Reflexive Migration Studies has emerged as a subfield of Migration Studies. Drawing on moral economy perspectives, we explore how the entanglement of, and tensions between, moral and economic rationalities shape the development of a field of knowledge production in which we ourselves partake. Clearly, Reflexive Migration Studies has not emerged in a vacuum but through socio-material practices and in a specific scientific context and community. Using the case of the Migration Studies landscape in Germany, we suggest that a moral economies perspective allows us to examine the production of knowledge infrastructures, scholarly identities, and research outputs that are key in creating a new academic field. By scrutinizing these infrastructures, identities, and outputs, we point to tensions between some of the morally charged claims and the material conditions and labour contexts of doing Reflexive Migration Studies. With our contribution, we want to raise questions regarding the direction that we, as scholars participating in the field, are taking. We see the risk that the critique brought forward in Reflexive Migration Studies falters in light of prevailing economies of scientific knowledge production and academic labour.
