🚨 International Migration Review is seeking essay submissions that illustrate innovative approaches to teaching and curriculum development on international migration and mobilities, immigrant experiences, displacement, and forced migration.

“Skin colour or passport types should not be a criteria which provides one group of people more protection over another.” – @ENAREurope@BobBalogun of @sheffielduni explains how the invasion of Ukraine exposed deep racial inequities in Europe’s refugee response in IMR.
@ENAREurope@BobBalogun@sheffielduni The paper, “Refugees Separated by the Global Color Line”, argues that racialized logics of “Europeanness” and “whiteness” determined who was welcomed and granted mobility within the EU.
