Abstract

Covid-19 has affected most fields of research, including migration and health. Migrant and mobile populations have faced particular challenges during the pandemic, but research with these populations, whilst imperative, has been practically and ethically challenging. Challenges have also been exacerbated by the ‘covidisation’ of research and funding cuts. In addition, the pandemic has affected researchers both personally and professionally. To explore these effects, we organised a series of consultations and interviews with researchers in the field. Our research shows that researchers are concerned with the impact of the pandemic on: (1) research progress; (2) research ethics; (3) funder relationships; (4) working online; (5) partnerships and collaborations; (6) the next generation of researchers; and (7) how researchers will move forward as the pandemic progresses. This chapter details these concerns, including the ways in which women have been disproportionately affected. We conclude by highlighting the key challenges and opportunities for the field.
