The Oxford Monitor of Forced Migration (OxMo) is an independent, academic journal publishing two issues annually engaging in a global intellectual dialogue about forced migration with students, researchers, academics, volunteers, activists, artists, as well as those displaced themselves. By monitoring policy, legal, political and academic developments, OxMo draws attention to the realities of forced migration and identifies gaps in refugee protection. Since its creation by graduate students at the University of Oxford's Refugee Studies Centre in 2010, OxMo continues to subscribe to its founding principle as a student-led platform providing space for students, as well as up-and-coming researchers and practitioners, without but especially also with personal experiences of forced displacement. We hope that, viewing both written and visual inputs featured in our issues and website in dialogue with each other, you will find joy, inspiration, as well as food for thought and action in engaging with these ideas, critical reflections, personal stories, and images.
