If you recall, last November, I announced that I would be winding down this blog by the end of this year. While it may not have been very noticeable, I have actually been "letting go of" and reducing references to certain topics (e.g., health) and resource types (e.g., news articles, opinion pieces, etc.). But clearly, the posts have continued at a healthy rate - a twenty-year habit is hard to break!
So my aim for this last quarter is two-fold: begin reducing both the size and number of posts in more obvious ways, and at the same time, provide information on alternative resources for identifying new types of publications and themes. The ultimate goal will be to end the year with a final post for each region and theme that I have covered on a regular basis.
That said, I do not plan to abandon this blog! As of the new year, I will still be sharing information on a variety of resources, just on a more sporadic basis! Here are some examples of what I will continue to cover:
- new journal issues
- new books (monthly, via my Forced Migration Library blog)
- occasional thematic round-ups (for example, I currently have one in the works that focuses on music and the arts in forced migration)
- occasional round-ups of open access materials produced by authors based in various regions (e.g., Global South, Global East, etc.)
- occasional announcements of major new resources (e.g., such as UNHCR's forthcoming Handbook on Refugee Law)
I will also strive to continue updating the various information resources I've developed over the years.
Hopefully, those of you who regularly visit this blog or access posts via email will still find the more reduced service to be useful! Thank you for all your support!
