Abstract:
In this contribution, Elsa Oliveira and Jo Vearey, researchers at the African Centre for Migration & Society (ACMS) at Witswatersrand University, and founders of the MoVE method:visual:explore project, share insights into why we need to think differently about ways of doing research with marginalised migrant groups – including migrant sex workers in South Africa.
