disClosure: a journal of social theory
Issue 17: Migration, Displacement, and Mobility
Migration, Displacement, and Mobility, whether global or local, are making
their effects felt as population shifts force governments, businesses, and
citizens to adapt to the changing imperatives causing and wrought by the
movement of humans. With the rise of migrant labor populations, the
displacement of native populations, and ready access to cheap and fast
transportation, humans are moving, relocating, and vacationing around the
globe. Entailing every form of human phenomena, scholars from a broad range of
disciplines have fruitfully engaged these issues. From these various efforts,
at least one fact is clear: there remains much work to be done. To that end, we
dedicate this issue of disClosure to questions like “how do we describe
migration, displacement, and mobility,” “where do we find it,” “what are the
implications of these phenomena,” and “what complicates our analyses?”
The editorial collective of disClosure seeks submissions that explore issues of
migration, displacement, and mobility as it is understood in a variety of
areas. Possible topics for consideration might include migration as it
