In 2018, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees documented
a record high 71.4 million displaced people around the world. As
states struggle with the costs of providing protection to so many
people and popular conceptions of refugees have become increasingly
politicized and sensationalized, researchers have come together to
form regional and global networks dedicated to working with
displaced people to learn how to respond to their needs ethically,
compassionately, and for the best interests of the global
community. Mobilizing Global Knowledge brings together academics
and practitioners to reflect on a global collaborative refugee
research network. Together, the members of this network have had a
wide-ranging impact on research and policy, working to bridge
silos, sectors, and regions. They have addressed power and politics
in refugee research, engaged across tensions between the Global
North and Global South, and worked deeply with questions of
practice, methodology, and ethics in refugee research. Bridging
scholarship on network building for knowledge production and
scholarship on research with and about refugees, Mobilizing Global
Knowledge brings together a vibrant collection of topics and
perspectives. It addresses ethical methods in research practice,
the possibilities of social media for data collection and
information dissemination, environmental displacement, transitional
justice, and more. This is essential reading for anyone interested
in how to create and share knowledge to the benefit of the millions
of people around the world who have been forced to flee their
homes.
