Inter- and Transdisciplinary Reflections on Contemporary Migrations from Law and Sociology

Abstract

Contemporary migrations  are an imperative element in the training of professionals in legal and social sciences given the growing presence of international mobility in recent decades for economic, political,  social,  or environmental reasons. This  puts  pressure on disciplinary boundaries  because  is a phenomenon  of a complex nature, whose research requires the articulation  of knowledge  and methodologies from different areas. In this study, we propose a dialogue between law, history, and sociology to emphasize the ideas of migrants and refugees, free movement, and liberal equality to understand migration, all elements elaborated from a formative experience within the framework of an interdisciplinary research project. We conclude  on the importance  of training in migration, and the transdisciplinary horizon needed to approach this field.
