New open access books:
Europe and Its Others: Migrant Integration in Research and Policy (Springer, Aug. 2025) [open access]
- "This open access book joins other critical works that draw attention to the ways integration is debated, legislated, conceptualized, monitored, evaluated, and ultimately, normalized as a mode of governance. Situated at the interstices of migration studies, European studies, and the social studies of science, the book examines the role of social scientific research, EU policy, and research-policy collaboration in shaping the ‘migrant integration’ paradigm in Europe. Amidst heated debates on immigration and ‘migrant integration’, the European Union becomes an increasingly relevant actor, where important resources are earmarked for the implementation of civic integration measures, as well as for producing ‘evidence’ to guide policy. Simultaneously, a prolific scholarship attempts to understand, measure and compare how and whether immigrants are ‘integrated into society’, often in the effort to remain ‘policy-relevant’."
A Handbook of Integration with Refugees: Global Learnings from Scotland (Multilingual Matters & Channel View Publications, Aug. 2025) [open access]
- "This Handbook brings together the viewpoints of academics, practitioners, artists and people seeking refuge in Scotland to explore the global learnings that can be gained from this context. The book engages with the challenge of supporting integration as multi-directional processes within a broader setting in which forced migration is often criminalised. Situating its analysis of integration in Scotland, the book combines chapters based in theory, which explore issues ranging from the concept of integration to law, borders and integration policy, with creative and practical responses to these issues. The book offers hopeful alternatives to current realities of forced migration, and a compelling challenge to dominant narratives related to refuge and integration. It will be of interest to practitioners, policymakers and scholars working with refugees and asylum seekers around the world."
