The Forced Migration Forum is a platform for discussion of topics relating to forced migration from all academic fields and policy points of view with several aims:
- to provide a place for debate on the core assumptions and concepts of our field;
- to encourage researchers to post and discuss their work (and spark a discussion about the research findings and their relevance); and
- to serve a “translation” function, bringing research to policy-thinkers and makers in a way that is useful to them.
Forced Migration Forum has not been updated since 2018.
Convened by senior editor T. Alexander Aleinikoff, the Mobilities seminar on Public Seminar examines mobility, and immobility, in their many forms. Tackling issues relevant to our swiftly-changing world and questioning how we might better understand the permutations of mobility in a time of heated and divisive public debate, we investigate the construction of borders, the concepts of “forced” and “voluntary” migration, migrant and refugee political mobilization, the “othering” of migrants and refugees, the impact of mobility on cities, mobility of non-human species and global migration management.
