Launch of FMR 25th Anniversary collection of articles
In November 1987 the first issue of a newsletter was published by the Refugee Studies Centre in response to a call for a forum for information exchange between researchers and practitioners.
Forced Migration Review (formerly known as the Refugee Participation Network newsletter) is still going strong today, 25 years later. It is now published in four languages and read around the world. Since 1987, we have published some 78 issues and supplements.
Our Anniversary collection of newly commissioned articles will look back over 25 years of debate, learning and advocacy for the rights of displaced and stateless people, and consider where we are now – and what the future holds – in relation to many of the themes covered by FMR.
We are inviting a selection of former guest editors, authors and donors to reflect on developments and to consider questions such as: What main lessons and commitments do we need to take forward? What gaps remain in our understanding and capacity? What does the future hold?
We’re launching the collection today with two articles, one by FMR’s current Editors and one by Jeff Crisp, head of UNHCR’s Policy Development and Evaluation Service, who has collaborated with FMR for many years, as a writer, funder and advisor.
Go to www.fmreview.org/25th-anniversary to read the articles.
The full collection of articles will build up gradually; later in 2013 we will combine all the articles into a full anniversary issue which will be available online and for downloading.
We would like to thank all those who have read, written for and supported FMR/RPN over the years.
With our thanks and best wishes
Marion Couldrey & Maurice Herson
Current Co-Editors
