Today’s technologies have contributed strongly to the diversity and intensity of international migration, such that they may be considered an inherent aspect of migration. Migrants’ use of technologies has received increasing attention from researchers. Moreover, because the current research on technology use by migrants comprises a variety of research objects, it is difficult to gain an overall understanding of the field. Based on a literature review, this article proposes an overview of the field of technologies and migration as a “mapping” of the main research objects examined in this field.
