This collection brings together key themes that integrate the 
scholarship on migration, digital media, and emotion. Drawing from a 
variety of conceptual, theoretical, and methodological traditions that 
cross-cut academic disciplines, the articles in this issue explore the 
emotional facets of digitally mediated migrant socialities in a variety 
of socio-cultural and geographic locales. These examinations raise 
important questions about how digital media ubiquity shapes global 
migration experiences and multicultural media publics at various scales. 
How are relations of intimacy and care at a distance articulated and 
experienced through social media? What does it mean to imagine home as a 
digitally mediated experience? In what unexpected ways are platforms 
reshaping migrant subjectivities? In this introductory article we 
address these and other questions, outlining how we believe the study of 
emotion can help us think more comprehensively about the digital 
mediation of migrants’ social lives in the current media age.
