This open access book centers the everyday experiences of forced and undocumented migrants in the Global North and Global South – specifically, the Netherlands, USA, and South Africa – through the prisms of engaged scholarship and co-creation as well as through transformative research processes within the field of migration studies. It goes beyond general definitions of engaged scholarship to describe how academics/researchers realized co-creation through meaningful collaboration with forced migrants in the three countries, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The book teases out contextual differences between the countries while connecting to broader debates on forced migration, ethics of care, complexities of engaged scholarship, and community networks and well-being as well as the politics of knowledge production on forced migration and reflexive migration studies. With its range of empirical work, this book is a great resource for students at all levels, academics in migration and refugee studies, policy makers in the three countries, and members of forced migrant communities.
