*Two open access books have just been published:

Humanitarianism in the Modern World: The Moral Economy of Famine Relief (Cambridge Univ. Press, July 2020)
- "The authors apply a moral economy approach to shed new light on the forces and ideas that motivated and shaped humanitarian aid during the Great Irish Famine, the famine of 1921-1922 in Soviet Russia and the Ukraine, and the 1980s Ethiopian famine."

Refuge in a Moving World: Tracing Refugee and Migrant Journeys across Disciplines (UCL Press, July 2020)
- "The volume combines critical reflections on the complexities of conceptualizing processes and experiences of (forced) migration, with detailed analyses of these experiences in contemporary and historical settings from around the world. Through interdisciplinary approaches and methodologies – including participatory research, poetic and spatial interventions, ethnography, theatre, discourse analysis and visual methods – the volume documents the complexities of refugees’ and migrants’ journeys."

And this OA book is forthcoming:

Refugee Routes: Telling, Looking, Protesting, Redressing (transcript, 1 Aug. 2020)
- "The displaced are often rendered silent and invisible as they journey in search of refuge. Drawing on historical and contemporary examples from Turkey, the Ottoman Empire, Iraq, Syria, UK, Germany, France, the Balkan Peninsula, US, Canada, Australia, and Kenya, the contributions to this volume draw attention to refugees, asylum seekers, exiles, and forced migrants as individual subjects with memories, hopes, needs, rights, and a prospective place in collective memory." Includes "theoretical, literary, artistic, and autobiographical contributions."
