Counter moves. Destabilizing the grand narrative of onward migration and secondary movements in Europe

Abstract: European migration scholars are increasingly interested in people's onward migrations and secondary movements. This paper takes a critical look at the conceptual underpinnings of this subfield by indicating how the lexicon of onward migration frames migratory processes as a staged process, involving a South–North directionality and hinting at a gradual progress for the migrants in question. This “grand narrative” of onward migration is anchored and reproduced by EU’s overarching policy frameworks. Based on an … Show more

“…For the international students in our study, social networks provided some trusted and valued knowledge but were also weighed down by inadequate or misleading information. Our study, focusing on international students in Canada, therefore supports existing findings in other countries that migrants devise strategies to sift through misinformation (Levitt, 2001; Mahler, 1995; Schapendonk & van Moppes, 2007) to accrue social capital. In our study, international students did this by utilizing multiple networks sequentially and simultaneously throughout the migration process (see Wissink & Mazzucato, 2018).…”

“…Saying this, experiences of (im)mobility can vary among people, and patterns of mobility and immobility can overlap or intersect (Schapendonk, 2021 ). Migrant workers' (im)mobility (e.g., across places and jobs) are also embedded in diverse social and spatial relations; emotional ties with other family members or interactions with other people at the workplace can shape migrants' decision-making in terms of mobility (Zampoukos, 2018 ; Dimitriadis, 2023 ).…”
