Looking at the 'field' through a Zoom lens: Methodological reflections on conducting online research during a global pandemic
Online fieldwork, while different from traditional in-person methods, can be surprisingly immersive and revealing. The author found that online interactions allowed for more relaxed conversations, revealed different aspects of participants' lives, and facilitated a more symmetrical researcher-participant relationship, even within the limitations of the COVID-19 pandemic context.

A theory of migration: the aspirations-capabilities framework
This paper proposes that migration is not merely a response to external factors but a complex interplay of individual aspirations and capabilities shaped by structural conditions. It introduces the aspirations-capabilities framework, defining human mobility as the freedom to choose where to live, encompassing both moving and staying. This framework aims to integrate various migration theories and provide a more nuanced understanding of migration's role in broader social change.

"Co-construction" in deliberative democracy: lessons from the French Citizens' Convention for Climate
The French Citizens' Convention for Climate (CCC) demonstrated that external input from experts and organizers did not undermine citizens' agency in proposing climate measures. However, the co-constructive approach failed to generate significant support among the broader public, and the government's limited follow-up on the CCC's proposals led to disappointment among the citizens. These results highlight the need for stronger commitment structures to ensure policy uptake and greater public engagement in citizens' assemblies.
