本文概述了移民同化的长期研究议程，呼吁学者更明确地了解我们如何建模和衡量同化，并远离以前的空间方法的主题。在简要概述了该领域后，我利用来自新移民目的地地区的原始定性数据来强调几个地方，我相信我们学者可以更好地澄清同化的定义和假设，以及对我们数据的选择和解释，以促进透明度和促进学术发现。最后，我认为，在新移民目的地工作的学者已经做好了充分的准备，来研究法律的地位--东道国社会或地区接待环境的一个关键结构特征--如何影响同化过程和结果。
This article outlines a long-term research agenda on immigrant assimilation by calling on scholars to be more explicit about how we model and measure assimilation, and to move away from previously aspatial approaches to the topic. After briefly overviewing the field, I draw on original qualitative data from a new immigrant destination region to highlight several places where I believe we scholars can better clarify definitions of and assumptions about assimilation, as well as choices about and interpretations of our data, to foster transparency and facilitate scholarly discovery. I conclude by arguing that scholars working in new immigrant destinations are well poised to examine how legal status - a key structural feature of the context of reception in a host society or locale shapes assimilation processes and outcomes.
