Who counts in civically engaged research? Rethinking expertise and authority in politics
Civically engaged research in political science
In political science, there are growing calls for scholarship to engage directly and equitably with communities and other research stakeholders. We build on, and advance, this emerging methodological literature by revisiting the conventional research process, and provide an adaptable guide scholars can use to develop and undertake a collaborative and civically engaged research project. We outline key considerations and decisions to be made at eac…
Hierarchy in the Politics of Migration
Migrants and refugees face hostile publics and organized political interests, and contend with new and evolving forms of surveillance, deportability, and political violence. Researchers show that these political dynamics are fundamentally shaped by the politics of race and ethnicity. Yet, even as this work is increasingly abundant, it has not always been taken up by mainstream accounts of migration. In this article, we revisit scholarship on the …
How refugees work together
Recent scholarship on refugee assistance has begun shifting the focus from traditional humanitarian interventions to alternative forms of refugee response, undertaken through more local, informal networks. These forms of humanitarian assistance and solidarity can transcend national refugee politics, and function as an alternative form of political engagement with the issue of refugee protection. Much of this emerging literature focuses on how hos…
Reflections on an Institutional Journey Toward Enhancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Political Science
As the political and social challenges facing the world multiply, the discipline of political science requires better tools and creative approaches advanced by a more diverse set of researchers. Yet the discipline has struggled to recruit and admit to graduate programs, and retain as faculty, women and underrepresented minorities. Many individual faculty, departments, and universities have developed innovative programs and sought to create struct…
Examining the ‘developmentalisation’ of humanitarian response
Since 2011, political liberalisation in Tunisia has created opportunities for reform in the country’s mobility policy regime. It has also become a small but important player in the international ‘humanitarian–development nexus’, which seeks to ‘better protect and assist refugees and support host countries and communities’. However, this article finds that institutional change in the country’s approach to managing mixed migratory flows has not mat…
