This issue features a selection of papers presented at the international workshop titled “Mixed Migration Flows and the Changing Dynamics of Migration Research” which was held in Istanbul on December 15, 2018 as the first activity of an international workshop series on mixed migration flows and trends. The six articles in this issue provide a very interesting sample of research and debate on mixed migration flows, aiming to contribute to our understanding of the changing nature of migration and migration research. We hope that the articles will stimulate debate on mixed migration research and inspire new workshops and research initiatives.
