Building on Owen’s discussion of “displacement” as a potential reorienting concept for Forced Migration Studies, and recognising the interdisciplinarity of the field, I focus on the ethical bounds and implications of such a shift in discursive and decolonial terms, including points on binary framings of border crossing, hierarchies of deservingness, and agency. In doing so, I consider how insights from related areas of inquiry might inform such a shift. My response encourages work that does not adopt state-centric language as its default or definitive terms
