A new series of interdisciplinary working papers on Migration, Mobility, and Forced Displacement has been launched at the Maria Sibylla Merian Institute for Advanced Studies in Africa (MIASA). The institute is based at the University of Ghana. Earlier this year, I had the great opportunity to act as convener of the first Interdisciplinary Fellow Group (IFG) in Accra. Four months of exciting collaborative research have now resulted in the publication of our first batch of working papers They deal with
a wide array of topics, that had been developed with the four working groups we created during our fellowship stay: Ranging from the urban Level and questions of translocality and Sanctuary cities to the ECOWAS Free Movement protocol and the role of civil Society in regional migration governance, as well as analyzing the Concept of mgiration infrastructures in a West African contect – and beyond… All papers underwent a thorough peer-review process. This is the list of papers available for download – feel free to share widely:
