People who are “on the move,” particularly migrants and the displaced, often inhabit places that are considered temporary, peripheral, and remote. (Un)Settling Place recentralizes these “out-of-the-way” places as key sites in the shaping of people’s mobility and identities. Ranging from the surveillance and care that migrants experience to the re-creation of social ties and the re-claiming of space, this collection volume seeks to show how a critical approach to in-between place-making can challenge the idea of place as fixed, singular, or one-directional, offering new ways of understanding migrant trajectories.

Nanneke Winters is an Assistant Professor in Migration and Development at the International Institute of Social Studies (ISS) in The Hague, which is affiliated with Erasmus University Rotterdam. Her work has been published in a variety of journals including Population, Space and Place, International Migration Review, and the Journal of Latin American Studies. Before joining ISS, she held research positions in the Department of Anthropology and African Studies at the Johannes Gutenberg University Mainz and in the Department of Human Geography and Spatial Planning at Utrecht University.
