This commentary paper starts by questioning the assumption that migration means international migration, and goes on to affirm that migration studies has indeed come of age as a coherent if highly diverse research field. Several emerging epistemic communities are identified: migration and development; gender and migration; lifestyle migration; and youth and student migrations. Finally, I argue that the role of geography in the study of migration has been under-valued.
这篇评论文章首先对迁移意味着国际迁移这一假设提出质疑，并进而肯定迁移研究作为一个连贯的、尽管高度多样化的研究领域确实已经成熟。文中识别出了几个新兴的认知共同体：迁移与发展；性别与迁移；生活方式迁移；以及青年与学生迁移。最后，我认为地理学在迁移研究中的作用一直被低估了。
