ABSTRACT
There are a rapidly growing number of studies employing multisensory approaches to investigate migration. This article aims to map the research from the migration-multisensory studies nexus to establish common grounds on which this nexus can be developed further. It offers an overview of sensory scholarship within the realm of migration studies, presenting its core contributions and directions for future research. The article discusses the transversality of the senses and the role of embodied memory in these processes, the significance of sensory experiences in locating transnationalism, the interplay between senses and identity of migrants, and the influence of sensory perceptions on social inequalities in the context of migration. It suggests that developing sensory-conscious theories and multisensory methodologies enrich the analyses of migration processes, especially in the realm of place-making, identity negotiation and social inequalities in migration contexts, while employing multisensory methodologies can decentralise knowledge production and foster more reflexive migration research.
