We now provide the opportunity for professionals to impart their knowledge and to share their thoughts and experiences with students, forced migrants and others working in the field. We hope that this initiative fosters greater discourse between policy and practice, students and academics, as well as organisations and the individuals they strive to serve.

We therefore welcome short essays that delineate specific aspects or concerns that may serve to direct students towards particular issues that require further scholarship. Submissions to this sections should be no longer than 1500 words. They need not be in the style of an academic article.
