The sometimes brutally honest feedback I received from participants showed me that even when I aimed for an emancipatory research practice, this could inadvertently have the opposite effect. Visibility invites us to reflect honestly on these tensions and ambiguities.

What is the role of knowledge in refugees' political agency? I reflect on these questions using examples from my recent book.

Thank you very much to the editorial team at @migknow.bsky.social, especially Viola Rautenberg and Casey Sutcliffe!
