Aim & Scope

As Kilis 7 Aralik University, it is aimed to open a new academic channel for research in the field of Middle East and migration, and to bring readers together with the studies carried out with the “Journal of Middle East and Migration". For this purpose, “Journal of Middle East and Migration” brings researchers and readers together by covering  researches on international migration as well as the developments in the Middle East region, where all monotheistic religions emerged, where the ancient works of human civilization are located.


'Middle East and Migration' is an international peer-reviewed journal published twice a year in June and December.

We publish works:
- on migration in a wider historical and societal context, including attention to experiences and representations of migration, critical theoretical perspectives on migration, and the social, cultural, and legal embeddedness of migration.
- on politics, society, and culture in the Middle East from the seventh century to the present day.
The journal also covers Spain, southeast Europe, parts of Africa, South Asia, and the former Soviet Union, as well as other regions, for subjects of relevance to the Middle East.
Contributions are welcome from across disciplines, including anthropology, comparative religion, cultural studies, economics, history, law, literature, philosophy, politics, sociology, and theology.
