Abstrakt

his paper calls for greater attention to people recognized as among the most vulnerable. The author argues that disabled migrants should be treated not only as objects and subjects of research, but also as co-researchers in their own right. More research is urgently needed on those who identify as disabled migrants, due to significant gaps in knowledge — particularly in relation to theory, policy, and practice. Accordingly, the article first outlines these gaps in the literature. Second, it examines existing approaches to conducting research with vulnerable persons, and considers the specificity of those defined as “hard to reach” or “easy to ignore.” Third, it identifies inclusivity, accessibility, reflexivity, and anti-essentialism key guiding principles, while an ongoing research project is explored to illustrate key lessons learned. The article concludes with a number of recommendations.
