We are a team of global researchers and practitioners unified by a shared spirit of academic excellence and collaboration. We are committed to promoting protection and solutions with and for refugees. Bound by a unity of purpose, we strive to reshape the forced migration study, discourse, politics, and practice of the global refugee regime by amplifying the agency of those most affected by displacement and by adopting a deeply inclusive, interdisciplinary, collaborative, and localized approach to the co-production of knowledge.

LERRN 2.0 (2025-2031) is a partnership of 29 partner organizations and 80 co-investigators and collaborators, and we are growing!
