Sumario:This article investigates the incorporation of decolonial and Global South approaches in migration studies, based on theses and dissertations published between 2016 and 2024. The focus is on academic productions that address migration through these theoretical and conceptual perspectives. The analysis covers the geographical distribution of the publications, authorship, social markers such as gender, race, and nationality, and the main theoretical and conceptual categories employed. The qualitative approach aims to identify emerging patterns and trends in the academic literature on this topic in Brazil. The results indicate a growing research interest at the intersection of migration and decolonial approaches, although this interest remains incipient. The academic production reveals a predominance of female scholars and an emphasis on intersectionality, addressing issues related to gender, race, and nationality. There is a notable concentration of research in the South and Southeast regions of Brazil, highlighting a geographical disparity in the study of these themes.Moreover, the relationship between migration, decoloniality, and regional development emerges as a significant dimension within the academic context. The decolonial approach provides a critical perspective for understanding the interaction between migratory flows and the field of Regional Development, often highlighting structural disparities and proposing alternatives that respect local and regional knowledge and practices.
