This paper argues that researchers who study migrants’ digital inclusion need to shed light on migrants’ use of digital technologies within the time frame and context of ‘migration travel’ and while migrants are in transition to a new or safer place for resettlement. In support of this argument, the paper proposes a ‘travelling with the traveller’ research framework that applies an ethnographic methodology and aims at the researcher experiencing or even becoming an integral part of the migration travel. The paper presents this travelling with the traveller framework and discusses the implications of digital inclusion (or the absence of it) for migrants’ experience, to combat or alleviate of all sorts of adversities, volatile emotions, unanticipated problems and moments of uncertainty and crisis migrants so often encounter on the move from homeland to another land, from one life setting to another. Further, the paper presents the fieldwork processes and data collection techniques of the proposed travelling with the traveller framework, such as participant observation, informal and open-ended interviews, as well as the use of video and photographic footage.

This paper argues that researchers who study migrants' digital inclusion need to shed light on migrants' use of digital technologies within the time frame and context of 'migration travel' and while migrants are in transition to a new or safer place for resettlement. In support of this argument, the paper proposes a 'travelling with the traveller' research framework that applies an ethnographic methodology and aims at the researcher experiencing or even becoming an integral part of the migration travel. The paper presents this travelling with the traveller framework and discusses the implications of digital inclusion (or the absence of it) for migrants' experience, to combat or alleviate of all sorts of adversities, volatile emotions, unanticipated problems and moments of uncertainty and crisis migrants so often encounter on the move from homeland to another land, from one life setting to another.

In this interview with Nerina Boursinou and Pierre Monforte, Phevos Simeonidis—cofounder of the Disinfaux Collective—reflects on the role of civil society organizations in the field of refugee support in Greece, in particular through the focus on their relations with public authorities. The interview provides an account of the changing environment in the field of migration and the diversity of the organizations working to support refugees in Greece, while it highlights such organizations’ ambivalent relations with public authorities. Moreover, the interview discusses the impact of the measures taken by the Greek government(s) to control or repress the activities of civil society organizations in recent years, including their criminalization. Finally, it makes reference to the complex ethics that accompany migration research and support practices, especially in relation to the collective’s operation and decision-making processes.
