CfP: 4S 2021 Open Panel: Digital Data Collection and Migration Studies: Fostering Good Relations Across Time and Place
Dear colleagues, Please consider submitting an abstract to our open panel at 4S 2021. Open Panel #59: Digital Data Collection and Migration Studies: Fostering Good Relations Across Time and Place Disparities and oppression are evident in migrants’ everyday lives, exacerbated during the COVID-19 pandemic. The number of international migrants in 2019 approached 272 million, with 80 million forcibly displaced worldwide. As people move, or are restricted from movement, reliance on digital tools has grown to support social, academic, economic, and health dimensions of life. Remote data collection measures to conduct research with migrants and about migration is necessary to identify problems, support communities, and understand the complex social, technological, and political-economy of the changing world. This panel will focus on the critical questions that surface when conducting remote and/or digital research with migratory communities, broadly defined. We aim to generate discussion about how or where the use of digital technology to collect research data might reproduce or interrupt colonial relations and dynamics of power. These can occur between researchers and participants, between differently situated participant groups, across research teams, or, throughout larger institutional systems of research and practice. How can we identify and better understand techno-colonial power and resistance in the adoption of digital data collection in migration research? How can digital research methods be used to foster participatory and/or anti-oppressive practices across time and place, related to race, class, gender, sexuality, age, and/or ability? How can an ‘ethics of care’ be applied to digital research? This open panel will bring together scholarship adopting digital data collection techniques, considering how to foster good relations across the axes of technology, research, power, privilege, and oppression in migration studies.
