New open access book:
Arts Initiatives by Refugees for Refugees: Forced Displacement, Creativity, and Agency (Berghahn Books, Sept. 2026) [open access]
- "Forced migration is an international problem impacting global powers as well as smaller resource-constrained countries. The rhetoric, globally and locally is rife with a confusing tangle about war, violence, persecution, vulnerability, victimhood, thievery, welfare leaching, and economy recking. [This] is a narrative-driven book based in global multi-site research about the arts and cultural dimension of refugee 'crises' in discrete geographic and social-political contexts. The stories highlight agency, creativity, pleasure, celebration, entrepreneurship, friendship, and community because we typically don't associate these things with refugees. They emphasize how refugees contribute to their own communities and their host countries, contrary to stereotypical and often xenophobic anti-refugee assumptions."

Caring to Include Toolkit (ECRE et al., 2026) [access]
- "The toolkit provides practical guidance and tools to support organisations working with refugees and people seeking protection in embedding trauma-informed principles into their everyday work. Drawing on the knowledge, research and experience of project partners across seven countries, the new toolkit responds to the need for resources that help organisations create safer, more supportive and empowering environments, while reducing the risk of re-traumatisation and recognising the impact of this work on staff and volunteers."
