Call for Papers: Special Issue Proposal: 2024 Migration Studies, Oxford University Press
Proposed title: Innovative Methodological Approaches in Migration and refugee studies: A Global South Perspective on Ethical, Non-extractive and Just Research Editor
Aims and Scope
This special issue will feature innovative methodologies that prioritise social justice, inclusivity, and ethicality beyond the performative institutional practices and procedures in the study of refugee and migrant education. We aim to create a collection of work that addresses complex questions around knowledge production, power dynamics, and representation. Contributors are encouraged to present research which showcase methodologies that view participants as active co-creators of knowledge, capable of leading their own voices and sharing their truths and realities.
Suggested Topics
We welcome contributions that engage with innovative methodologies that stem from relational epistemologies, anticolonial and decolonial research, Afrocentric research, Indigenous methodologies, (non-white) feminist research and participatory methods.
Audience
This issue will be relevant to scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in education, migration, forced migration, and social justice research as well as the refugee and migrant communities. By focusing on methodological innovation, it will be of relevance to those interested in exploring new tools that centre the voice of refugee and migrant participants and advance ethical values through the work of researchers in the Global South.
Submission Guidelines
Contributors are invited to submit original research articles, methodological reflections, or case studies that align with the themes of this issue. We encourage submissions that engage critically with the methods used, discuss challenges and successes, and propose new directions for ethical, innovative research in refugee and migrant education.
We warmly invite you to submit your abstract (500 words maximum) and a short biography (200 words maximum) by the 25th of November 2024.
