Migration, mobilities and movement
Addressing Goal 9: Industry, innovation and infrastructure, Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities and Goal 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions, our publishing on migration examines conflict, insecurity, access to justice and how policy should pay attention to the needs of marginalised populations.
Key on our list is the Global Migration and Social Change series, which opens up interdisciplinary terrain and develops new scholarship in migration and refugee studies that is innovative, empirically rich and policy engaged.
Bristol University Press and Policy Press are signed up to the UN SDG Publishers Compact. In Mobilities and movement, we aim to address the following goals:
