Welcome to all #SCFMR current and future members - we're looking forward to hearing all your updates from the #IMISCOE conference. Hope you're not melting too much in the Paris heat! 😎

Our first SCFMR panel on the nexus of forced and irregular migration at IMISCOE'S spring conference attracted 30 participants onsite and 23 online. Not bad for a start...

Call for Papers for the Special Issue “Who is a Refugee in the 21st Century?” I am co-editing with @fitzgeralducsd.bsky.social & Aryan Karimi @ubcmigration.bsky.social

We look forward to receiving your abstracts by March 31!
