[STS-MigTec @stsmigtec]

"[A]n engaged agenda in context of the politics of knowledge production on migration thus also implies being conscious and careful about the methods, concepts and language we use in our research (precisely because of their performativity)" (Intro, p. 19). Take a look at this!
