(ISSN:  2633-2396)

Welcome to Displaced Voices: A Journal of Migration, Archives and Cultural Heritage

This is a new online digital magazine launching in 2020. Produced and edited by archivists, academics and activists at the Living Refugee Archive based at the University of East London. Our aim is for this magazine to engage with issues pertaining the intersection of refugee and migration studies with participatory archive and oral history methodologies and the role of cultural heritage in relation to the refugee experience. Broad themes will include refugee and migration history; cultural and intangible history; community memory and notions of identity; the role of archives and oral history in documenting the refugee and migration experiences.

Description

Displaced Voices is a digital magazine produced twice a year by the Living Refugee Archive. Displaced Voices aims to provide a digital platform for activists, archivists, researchers, practitioners and academics to contribute to issues pertaining to refugee and migration history; refugee and migrant rights; social justice; cultural heritage and archives. We welcome a range of contributions to the magazine including articles of between 1000-2000 words; reports on fieldwork in archival collections; book recommendations and reviews; and more creative pieces including (but not limited too) cartoons; photography; and poetry. We would also welcome news on activities; publication of reports; projects; letters and news from your own networks.

Current Call for Papers

Call for Papers: Special Issue (Autumn 2023):  

 Chile @ 50 : A Special Issue of Displaced Voices to Mark the 50th Anniversary of the Coup d’état in Chile.

Themes

The UEL Archives and the Living Refugee Archive have been working closely with the Chilean community to help develop our Documenting Chile archive project.  Documenting Chile took shape gradually following the very successful Crafting Resistance: The Art of Chilean Political Prisoners exhibition and accompanying workshops and events held at the University of East London in 2018. 

The themes for this special issue of Displaced Voices reflect the shared values that have underpinned both the original exhibition and our ongoing archival work supporting the Chilean community.
