Migration and asylum are highly complex phenomena that impact many different aspects of social life. Addressing migration and asylum therefore calls for a plurality of analytical perspectives which, taken together, can provide a more comprehensive understanding. Interdisciplinarity is a crucial tool to unravel some of this inherent complexity and can serve to illuminate those aspects of migration and asylum that remain hidden, unknown, or distorted when only using a single lens of analysis. By bringing together empirical insights, theoretical advances, and methodological pluralism across disciplinary boundaries—and extending beyond academia—we can more effectively identify the current shortcomings of migration policy and governance. The upcoming DEMIG Talk series aims to highlight the diversity of disciplines that relate to the field of migration, emphasizing the importance of combining different angles to better grasp human mobility whilst also calling for increasing cross-pollination and knowledge exchange.
