This is a highly interactive, forward-looking forum focused on real-world use cases, workforce readiness, and cross-sector partnerships, not hype.

International Migration Review (IMR) Call for Submissions: Migration in the Classroom: Pedagogical Innovations and Student Engagement (06/01/26)
A key theme emerging from the 2026 Academic Symposium of the Center for Migration Studies was the need to invest intentionally in the next generation of migration scholars. Students at all levels, including graduate, tertiary, secondary, and even primary, should benefit from evidence-based, rights-oriented education on human migration and population movements, as well as on the policies and programs that shape these dynamics.
In response, the International Migration Review (IMR) invites submissions that illustrate creative and innovative approaches to teaching and curriculum development on international migration and mobilities, immigrant experiences, displacement, and forced migration. This call seeks critical essays that examine pedagogy, curriculum design, and student learning, with particular attention to how teaching can advance both knowledge generation and meaningful engagement with migration issues and migrant student communities.
We invite essays of 1500-2500 words, excluding supporting materials, that describe the goals of the course, program, or instructional approach; its implementation and evaluation; and its outcomes for students and, where relevant, communities. Submissions may include descriptions of curricula, classroom practices, experiential or community-engaged learning, or interdisciplinary approaches.
Essays should be submitted by June 1, 2026. Interested contributors are invited to send their essays to Dr. Narayani Sritharan (nsritharan@aiddata.wm.edu) and Professor Ellen Percy Kraly (ekraly@colgate.edu). The guest editors will review submissions and invite selected authors to submit their essays for consideration by IMR.
Essays will be considered for publication by the IMR editorial team, based on the originality of the approach and demonstrated outcomes for student learning and engagement. We welcome contributions spanning the social sciences, health sciences, arts, and humanities.
Please feel free to contact Professor Ellen Percy Kraly at ekraly@colgate.edu with any ideas or questions.
