The Journal of Immigrant and Refugee Studies (external link)  is inviting proposals for Special Issues.

Proposals must be submitted by email to the attention of Irina Isaakyan at: jirs.journal@torontomu.ca by March 1, 2024, 12:00 PM EST – 18.00 hours CET.

Special Issue proposals must be up to 5,000 words long and should include:

• A short rationale covering conceptual, empirical, and methodological approach, explaining the following: Why this SI would be of value; what it adds to the literature; why the selected papers/case studies/approaches are proposed; and how the SI is more than the sum of its parts.
• Paper abstracts
• Biographical notes of contributors  (max 100 words)
• Biographical notes of guest editor (s) (max 200 words)

Special Issues are expected to include seven to eight articles and a substantial Special Issue introduction. Articles should be approximately 8,000 words long all included (references, notes etc).
