Aims: Refugee Research in Context (RRIC) is an online resource that makes academic research about forced migration accessible to the public, the media, practitioners, and policymakers. We seek to provide content and analysis that will increase public engagement with the historical, political, economic, and social justice questions underlying contemporary refugee issues. We assemble and present an in-depth look at timely issues, some of which have garnered significant public and media attention while others are under-examined.
Reach: The RRIC mobilizes the connections of the Refugee Research Network (RRN) which emerged through a series of scholarly networks and clusters, institutional relationships, and affiliated research centres, and now engages over 40 thousand people globally through social media. The RRN reaches a global audience including academics, community organizations, practitioners, and policymakers, in sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, Europe, North America, and Australia. We are hoping that the RRIC platform opens a space of further collaboration among the global community of people concerned about forced migration.
We look forward to hearing from you!
