We talk quite a bit about fieldwork. But researchers are human, so field𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤 also implies ‘field𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞,’ especially during longer stays. In a post for @methatmig.bsky.social’s Blog, I reflect on some lessons learned about #fieldwork and #fieldlife during my recent stay in Nepal. 📌 My 5 takeaways:

Please join us at 9am in Salle 50 (Cen. d. Colloq.) for our #IMISCOE2025 workshop "Studying attitudes toward immigration and immigrants: conceptual & methodological advances", chaired by S. Rinken. It's also your chance to learn more about our ongoing MAPP project (www.iesa.csic.es/en/proyectos...).

As we wrap up #IMISCOE2025 there are still a couple of highly interesting Meth@Mig sessions that you should not miss!

📣 New on the Meth@Mig blog: @josefneubauer.bsky.social reflects on fieldwork & fieldlife in Nepal— more than six months of research, insights, and lessons from Kathmandu, Barpak & Inaruwa. A instuctive look at doing research and living it. www.imiscoe.org/news-and-blo... #MigrationResearch

Good morning! Day 3 of #IMISCOE2025 is about to start. Here is your daily update of the @methatmig.bsky.social menu.

Last reminder! Please do join us at our annual meeting at 6.30 pm (CEST) in Salle 3.02, Centre des Colloques.

In today's first session slot of #IMISCOE2025, I have the pleasure to chair @methatmig.bsky.social's workshop "Strategies and Practical Tools for Publishing Methods Papers" jointly organized with Ros Cameron (Torrens University). I'm very much looking forward to this. See you there!

As the second day of #IMISCOE2025 starts, we have prepared a convenient list of today’s Meth@Mig sessions for you. Don’t miss out on them! #IMISCOE

As we wrap up the first day of the Annual IMISCOE conference, we invite you to start tomorrow by joining our workshop on publishing papers on migration research methods. Don't miss out on this! #IMISCOE2025

We have shared the link to and the password for the meeting with all members through our email list. Should you not participate in the conference and not have received the message, please reach out to us.

Day 1 of #IMISCOE2025 is here! Of course, the conference features many methods-oriented sessions, some organized directly by our SC, others proposed by fantastic colleagues. We are looking forward to all of them. Here is what we have in store for you today. Enjoy! #IMISCOE

Quick reminder to all members: Please attend our SC's annual meeting this Wednesday (6.30 pm, CEST)! You can participate in person at the conference venue or online.

🚨 Struggling to publish methods papers in migration research? You're not alone. Journals keep passing the buck — method papers are “too specific,” or “not substantive enough.” Join our workshop at #IMISCOE2025: 🗓️ Wed July 2, 09:00–10:30 (session #53) 📍 Salle 0.004, Bâtiment Recherche Nord

Save the date: The Meth@Mig Annual Members’ Meeting (hybrid) will take place on July 2nd, 6.30-7.30 pm (CEST) during the IMISCOE Annual Conference in Auberv.–Paris. Members are invited to join onsite or online! Note: Members do NOT need to be registered for the conference to attend the meeting!
