This response advocates for the conceptual utility of displacement and the potential emergence of Global Displacement Studies (GDS). I argue that displacement provides a more expansive analytical framework than migration studies, refugee studies, or forced migration studies, capturing the broader structural forces—economic, political, historical—forces that drive human movement and vulnerability. In so doing, I emphasise how displacement is deeply embedded in contemporary capitalism and social difference—race, gender, class, and sexuality. This response explores three key potentialities of GDS: (1) Its capacity to address systemic displacement in the context of capitalist inequality; (2) its ability to reframe place, scale, and temporality in global political economy; and (3) its potential to disrupt state-led categorisations of migration and forced movement. Rather than replacing forced migration or refugee studies, the analytic of global displacement offers a broader intellectual terrain for scholars examining displacement beyond migration categories, thereby embracing analysis of colonial dispossession, labour precarity, displacement in the Anthropocene, and urban marginalisation.
