Riva Kastoryano, Ricard Zapata-Barrero, and Dirk Jacobs have recently coedited a volume entitled Contested Concepts of Migration Studies (Routledge, 2022). As they claim in the introduction, “The main purpose of this volume is to enhance conceptual thinking on migration studies and clarify the political significance of the fading of old and the advent of new concepts”. They have agreed to answer our questions on the genesis of this collective project, on the notion of scientific concepts and their circulation, and on their own contributions to this volume.
