This funding has allowed members of the Executive Committee of the ESPMI Network to travel several times to meet with one another and to liaise with others in the field, at conferences such as the Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS) and the International Association for the Study or Forced Migration (IASFM). 5 ESPMI NETWORK www.espminetwork.com Refugee Review: Emerging Issues in Forced Migration Managing Editors' Statement Welcome to the fourth volume of Refugee Review, the open access, multidisciplinary, multimedia, and peer-reviewed journal of the ESPMI Network. We are delighted to be able to share with you another rich edition of varied and challenging articles, opinion pieces and practitioner reports from emerging scholars and practitioners around the world. Refugee Review is an open-access, peer-reviewed e-journal that features a range of submission styles by migrants past and present, emerging and established scholars, practitioners, artists, photojournalists, activists, and anyone else connected to the field of forced migration. Refugee Review is an independent platform, offering a unique publishing opportunity for early-stage professionals, as well as for established scholars that support its mission.

We hope that this is journal can, in a small way, act as a venue for bringing multiple strains of work and study from a diverse group of people into closer proximity for those that seek to know more about forced migration. We are incredibly proud to have worked directly with over thirty emerging scholars and practitioners who shared their work, and a team of twenty-four peer reviews and editors to bring the fourth edition of our journal forward.

This issue of the Refugee Review set out to explore and expand these issues by focusing on four areas in forced migration research and praxis: methodological challenges and innovations, bridging research to policy and practice, new dissemination practices and public engagement, and supporting emerging scholars and practitioners. The articles presented in this volume address two of these areas most explicitly: methodological
