Qualitative Methods in Migration Studies: A Critical Realist Perspective

By Theodoros Iosifides

Book Overview

Moving away from the quantitative and empiricist-positivist approaches that have often characterised migration research, Qualitative Methods in Migration Studies explores in a concise but comprehensive way the key issues involved in researching migratory phenomena in a qualitative manner. It addresses themes including the basic characteristics of contemporary migration, qualitative research into social processes related to migration, and the relationship between theory, research design and practice and will be of interest to students and researchers in migration across the social sciences.
