Resumen de Considering Power and Institutional Change in the Study of Migration’s Impact on Non‐Migrants: Commentary on Schut & Crul (2024) and Keskiner et al. (2024)

Natasha Warikoo

• Schut and Crul (2024) and Keskiner et al. (2024) bring much‐needed attention to migration’s impact on host societies. They investigate Dutch non‐migrant parents’ responses to migration‐related issues that arise in their children’s schooling, highlighting the diversity of those responses. Future analyses should move beyond individual analyses to understand broader social changes, how group‐level status shapes institutional responses to migration, and the role that systemic racism or Islamophobia may play in shaping individual and institutional responses to migration. This requires empirical analyses that incorporate participant observation in specific institutions (for example, schools), and attention to organizational decision‐making.
