This virtual panel will provide insights on how to effectively publish one’s research on migration as academic books and journal articles. The two panelists will share with the audience their hands-on experiences in soliciting journal manuscripts as a former editor and working with Canadian academic publishers as a book author. This panel is intended for early career researchers (graduate students, post-doctoral fellows and other junior scholars) in the field of migration who are interested in publishing their research in the forms of academic books and journal articles.
