Gender and Interdisciplinary Field-Building in
| In 2003, the SSRC funded a working group called „Gender and Migration Theory to explore how and how effectively recent research on gender had
been incorporated across the discipline. A collaboration of historians, sociologists, ethnographers, and representatives from a number of other disciplines and interdisciplinary fields (e.g. American studies, ethnic
studies, legal studies) did far more than survey and report on the
explosion of recent literature on gender and migration. The
collaboration revealed but also tried to explain the unevenness with
which gender analysis is being applied across the disciplines.
Methodological and disciplinary „boundary-keeping‰ encouraged gender
analysis in some fields while discouraging it in others. The project
revealed a hidden history of interdisciplinarity that preceded and to
some degree surpassed the SSRC‚s efforts to create „migration studies
as an interdisciplinary field in the 1990s. This paper focuses on the
main results of the working group, calling attention particularly to
tensions between quantitative and qualitative methodologies (and how
scholars interested in gender are attempting to bridge the
methodological divide), to the contemporary and still-very-much gendered
production of scholarly knowledge in migration studies and to the
interdisciplinary practices pioneered in gender analysis of migration.
