Deadline: November 30, 2025
On behalf of the WERA International Research Network “Educational Leadership for an Equitable, Resilient, and Sustainable Future“, we are thrilled to share this call for book chapter proposals for the “Handbook on Migration and Higher Education.“
Chapters in this handbook examine how higher education both shapes and is shaped by migration, forced displacement, and global mobility. Each contribution should engage the volume’s aims—equity, access, leadership, social justice, and the reimagination of higher education—by situating its argument in relevant theories (e.g., migration and mobility studies, internationalization, leadership, decolonial and feminist lenses, ethics of care) and by drawing clear implications for institutional practice and policy across cross-cultural and cross-border contexts.
It welcomes empirical, conceptual, ethnographic, and comparative work. Each chapter should include: (1) a concise problem framing grounded in current literature; (2) a transparent theoretical framework; (3) methodology and context (for empirical pieces) or analytic approach (for conceptual pieces); (4) analysis that speaks directly to migrant, refugee, undocumented, stateless learners or scholars, credential recognition, visa regimes, language and legal barriers, institutional leadership, internationalization logics, epistemic justice, and/or partnerships; and (5) actionable recommendations for leaders and practitioners. Reflexivity/positionality statements are encouraged where appropriate.
Those interested in authoring a chapter for this book are invited to submit a brief description of their chapter idea (750 words or less) by November 30, 2025. The editors will send authors their decision by December 21, 2025. If the chapter is accepted, the author(s) will receive a chapter template.
