The APSA Council officially approved the creation of our new Migration and Citizenship section. Seeing this field get the institutional home it deserves after all our hard work feels surreal. Thank you for helping us prove that this research area is a vital part of our discipline.

Seeing 250 colleagues sign this petition reminds me why I started this work in the first place. I spent years navigating these institutional barriers and it feels incredible to see so many of you join this push for a dedicated space within the profession.

The feedback from colleagues across the field has been incredibly encouraging as we work to carve out this much needed space for our research. We are currently preparing our formal application for the association council and your backing is providing exactly the momentum we need for those discussions.

Long overdue. The research in this field is growing so fast and we really need a dedicated home for it within the association.

Yes! About time. Migration issues are way too big to keep getting sidelined at the annual meetings.

Totally on board with this. It would make networking so much easier for grad students focusing on these topics.
