together contributions from noted scholars about the approaches
we adopt, the research frames and tools we use, and the role we
have as researchers. Its aim is to provide an overview of debates
in the field, to revisit key terms, to conceptualize the
particularities of refugee research as an interdisciplinary field
of study, and to identify emerging trends.
