Synopsis

Reader in Qualitative Methods in Migration Research edited by Ibrahim SIRKECI, Theodoros IOSIFIDES, Carla DETONA, Annalisa FRISINA. This edited collection of articles published in Migration Letters were selected to reflect on methodological challenges faced by researchers and students when conducting qualitative studies on migration. Beginning with papers focusing on broader discussions of methodological issues and some options available to researchers, the latter half of the book explores the narrative methodology in depth with references to several cases. The chapters included in this book was originally published in regular issues and two special issues of Migration Letters journal from 2009 onwards. These special issues were guest edited by Theodoros Iosifidis and Deborah Sporton in 2009 and by Carla De Tona, Annalisa Frisina and Deianira Ganga in 2010. We have regrouped and ordered these studies to enhance the flow and transition in the book. The first six chapters look into more general issues and debates in migration research methodologies, while chapters seven to ten offer cases studies on alternative qualitative methodologies and then the final six chapters focus on narratives and challenges of the narrative methodology applied in migration studies.
