How it works
Connecting and Sharing Learning from Global Migration Research
Explore research approaches and global contexts of migration
Migration is a complex and evolving issue that shapes lives and societies across the globe. On this three-week interactive course, you’ll explore the diverse research methods and practices that inform our understanding of migration and wellbeing.
Through shared case studies and international collaboration, you’ll expand your awareness of global migration dynamics and their impact on individuals and communities.
Share tools, methods, and media for collective insight
Connect with educators, artists, activists and researchers to share knowledge and co-create learning. You’ll explore innovative ways to communicate research findings in collaboration with partners such as the Royal Geographical Society.
Explore how collaborative storytelling and community engagement can help shift public discourse, build inclusive practices, and develop creative approaches to influencing policy and social understanding.
Amplify your network and increase research impact
You’ll discover how to turn research into action by developing impactful partnerships and improving knowledge exchange strategies. Explore how to maximise your work’s reach across policy, education, and the media.
Develop a richer understanding of global migration research, a toolkit of shared resources, and a growing community of collaborators committed to socially engaged, policy-relevant work.
Build an interactive network for ongoing knowledge exchange
Grow your skills in a collaborative learning zone—designed to support interaction and knowledge-sharing among researchers, educators, practitioners, and creatives.
By the end of the course, you’ll have practical ideas for maximising your research impact and joining an active network of collaborators working at the intersection of migration and wellbeing.
Syllabus
Week 1
Conducting and sharing research through co-production
Your Journey in Collaborative & Ethical Migration Research Begins Here
Welcome to our Massive Online Collaboration (CoMOOC)! Learn about our collaboration's structure and learning opportunities in this introduction.
Begin Week 1: Conducting and sharing research through co-production
Elaine Chase introduces our first week on conducting and sharing research through co-production.
Thinking about who migrates
In this section we will reflect on who migrations and why.
How do we co-produce knowledge?
In this section, we think about knowledge co-production in migration research through the work of the Migration Leadership Team (MTL). Learn more about the MLT project in steps 1.3 - 1.4 before the discussion in step 1.5.
Week 2
Conducting and sharing research ethically
Introducing Week 2: Ethical and Responsive Migration Research
Delve into what constitutes ethical and responsive research looks like in contexts of migration, and consider what constitutes equitable partnership working in migration research.
Thinking about responsive research in multiple, intersecting crises
How can we conduct responsive research in the context of different overlapping crises?
How have people conducted ethical research during complex crises/circumstances?
Please listen to at least 2 of the interviews below, of researchers adapting research to complex/crises situations and keeping it ethical.
Week 3
Conducting and sharing research creatively
Introducing Week 3: Sharing research creatively & working with the Arts
In this week, we explore how we can best leverage and showcase the strengths of cross-sector and disciplinary collaborations in inclusive and beneficial ways.
Thinking about the role of the Arts through Migration & Human Rights COMICON
Explore the COMICOM event - dive into its purpose and methodology, see the diverse works it birthed, and hear firsthand insights on its value. Watch at least 2 of the steps 3.3 - 3.7 before moving one to the final step 3.8.
How have the arts played a role in your work?
Participants share examples of how have used arts in own work.
