Résumé : Feminist scholars from different disciplines introduced gender perspectives in migration studies and contributed to the burgeoning of what is known today as “gender and migration” scholarship. More than four decades after the development of this scholarship, several questions can be raised: what is the present state of broader migration studies? Are there still gender gaps in this field of research? How can we further advance migration studies? “Gender gaps” refer here to lacunas in the extent to which scholarly focuses, methodologies, and analyses are gender inclusive, gender informed, or gender oriented. To find out the state of migration studies, the present chapter draws from a qualitative review of the “gender and migration” scholarship and from a quantitative study of the broader literature on migration studies through a bibliometric analysis of the migration literature between 1980 and 2019 using major search engines and websites of leading journals in the field. By adopting a mixed methodological approach, this chapter unveils the evolution of gender and migration scholarship in different regions of the world. It uncovers three gender gaps: the visibility of women in migration studies unintentionally leads to feminised gender in the field; heteronormativity still prevails, which slows down the inclusion of sexuality and queer perspectives in migration studies; and the influence of gender and migration scholarship has not yet permeated the broader migration studies. These observations call for collaborative actions to make migration studies more diversified, interdisciplinary, and gender sensitive.
