This Festschrift honours Steven Vertovec’s pioneering contributions to migration studies, transnationalism, and superdiversity, which have shaped academic and policy debates worldwide. It brings together leading scholars to reflect on his intellectual legacy through retrospective analyses and prospective engagements that expand, critique, and apply his ideas. The collection is organized into four thematic sections: (1) tracing the evolution of his theoretical innovations, (2) applying the superdiversity framework to contemporary case studies, (3) critically examining superdiversity’s intersections with inequality and social hierarchies, and (4) engaging with his recent work on the social organization of difference. Beyond celebrating a distinguished scholar, this Festschrift fosters an academic dialogue that ensures Vertovec’s legacy remains dynamic, inspiring future research and shaping on-going discussions in migration and diversity studies.
