🚨 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.

@utsystem The study finds that these disparities cannot be explained by differences in demographic factors, nor by higher visa overstay rates. The authors offer empirical evidence that US visas systematically restrict migration from the Global South. 🔗 journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.11…

📊 Analyzing data from 2006 to 2021, Kevin Thomas and Ricardo Henrique Lowe from @utsystem show that visa rejection rates were consistently higher for applicants from the Global South than the Global North. African applicants face rejection rates more than double those in Europe.

@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.

“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.

During the pandemic, Peru not only had one of the strictest lockdowns, but also one of the most extensive cash transfer programs in Latin America and the Caribbean. However, the migrant population was excluded from this program. What would have happened if they had been included?

@bircealtiok @MiReKoc The study introduces the concept of “maneuvering practicality” — showing how cities balance local needs with international engagement to strengthen their role in migration governance. 🔗 buff.ly/YNeYemM
