New Open Access book:

Research Methodologies and Ethical Challenges in Digital Migration Studies: Caring for (Big) Data?
(Palgrave Macmillan, Nov. 2021) [open access]
- "Digital technologies reshape not only every phase of the migration process itself (by providing new ways to access, to share and preserve relevant information) but also the activities of other actors, from solidarity networks to border control agencies. In doing so, digital technologies create a whole new set of ethical and methodological challenges for migration studies: from data access to data interpretation, privacy protection, and research ethics more generally."
