Collaborative dissemination of research findings in the public and media spheres has the potential to reach large audiences, enhance forced migrants’ political participation and impact policies. ‘Going public’ further requires both researchers and forced migrants to engage visibly in a sphere that is often unexpected and less familiar to them. This paper discusses the methodological and ethical challenges and possibilities surrounding joint dissemination, drawing on a case study of public and media co-dissemination that occurred as part of an anti-deportation public campaign. In 2018, the Israeli government initiated a forced deportation plan aimed at deporting refugees to Rwanda. The authors had previously conducted research exploring the journeys of refugees who ‘voluntarily’ departed Israel to Rwanda, revealing that the deportees were pressured to embark on life-threatening journeys, eventually gaining protection in Europe. The findings were collaboratively shared through various activities, such as media interviews, public events, advocacy and cooperation with civil society organisations in Israel and globally. This paper discusses the three main aspects derived from our experiences: power imbalances and divisions of roles, consent as a process, and re-traumatisation and agency. Finally, ethical and practical recommendations for mitigating some of these challenges are offered.

International retirement migration gained popularity with the rise of globalisation and individualisation, but little is known about whom the retirement migrants are compared to retirees who do not migrate. To gain insight into who migrates compared to who stays, we examine a broad set of individual determinants. We collected data for the survey of Dutch Retirement Migrants Abroad, a new dataset based on a probability sample of Dutch nationals with an oversample of retirement migrants (ages 66–90). The survey includes 5225 migrants who migrated from the Netherlands and permanently reside in one of forty different destination countries and 1339 Dutch retirees who reside in the Netherlands. Using discrete-time event-history models, we test the effect of socioeconomic status, social ties, personality traits, and cultural values on the likelihood of migration. Having a partner and a higher occupational status raised the likelihood of migration. Additionally, retirement migrants were more likely to be adventurous, postmaterialist, and identify with counterculture of the sixties, such as being involved in the hippie culture, than non-migrants. Having more social ties in the Netherlands decreased the likelihood of migration. This study highlights the complex interplay of determinants influencing who migrates at older ages and who stays.

ABSTRACT This article analyzes Canada's private sponsorship of refugees to explore the conceptual and practical limits of humanitarian reason. In private refugee sponsorship, sponsors channel their humanitarian impulse to resettle refugees in a time-limited partnership with both the state and the refugees they sponsor. To gain insight into how sponsors perform their role in this structurally and temporally bounded trajectory, we conducted a national online survey of 530 sponsors who volunteered to support Syrians resettled to Canada after November 2015. Our analysis draws primarily from written comments shared by survey respondents. We find that over time, sponsors resort to tacit ‘humanitarian bargains’ to mediate between their initial commitment to save refugees’ lives and their ongoing quotidian experiences of intervening in and shaping refugee lives. These bargains become visible when sponsors evaluate sponsorship by reference to a set of expectations and judgements about sponsored refugees, their fellow sponsors and the state. We suggest that the concept of the humanitarian bargain has explanatory force beyond refugee sponsorship.
