The Journal of Community Engagement and Scholarship is requesting proposals for research on immigrant and refugee integration. Proposed abstracts are due by 10/1/2022. More information @ Georgia Immigration Research Network (GIRN) website
This special journal issue brings together an interdisciplinary and demographically diverse group of students, practitioners, policymakers, and scholars to examine U.S. immigration policy, practice, and the organizations which facilitate immigrant integration. We are specifically interested in community-based and community-engaged research that surfaces immigrant voices, those who work in partnership with immigrants, and those who do research in collaboration with and on behalf of immigrant communities.
In partnership with the Journal of Community Engagement and Scholarship (JCES), the special issue editors are seeking manuscripts that align with the JCES’s mission as well as advance representative and direct democracy through the full incorporation and inclusion of immigrant communities throughout the U.S. As such, our collective aim is that this issue integrates the voices of diverse immigrant communities as well as the voices of emerging and established academic scholars and community researchers. We seek to transcend scale by including the experiences of small unincorporated rural areas to large cities, thus we anticipate creative approaches, analyses, and methodologies. Finally, we welcome writing in foreign languages (with English translation). Our aim is to advance scholarship that authentically captures the lived experiences of immigrants and those who facilitate their integration and democratic engagement.
