The topic of migration raises questions that cut across disciplines: Why do people migrate, and where do they migrate to? What are the consequences, and how has migration shaped international relations, economics, history, and other fields? The new Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Migration Studies aims to provide research to help build a grounded foundation for this work.
The research encyclopedia will serve as a powerful tool to understand the origins, impact, and evolution of these developments on a global scale. It would also equip readers with an interdisciplinary understanding of migration at the local, national, and global levels. This research encyclopedia will frame immigration globally. By choosing topics and categories that apply globally, readers will learn about these phenomena in a global framework, allowing them to see similarities and differences across borders. This approach will demystify many of the current assumptions about global migrations.
The collection covers a range of topics, relating to climate migration, deportation, migration and literature, and immigrant activism, among others. Designed for researchers, students, educators, and policy‑engaged readers alike, the encyclopedia offers authoritative, peer‑reviewed entries written by leading scholars in the field.
Every article distills key arguments, perspectives, and contexts, helping you build a strong understanding in one read. All content is authored and peer-reviewed by leading scholars, so you can cite this work without any hesitation. As the collection continues to grow, articles will be added and updated – ensuring that you are always ahead of the curve.
