I am pleased to announce that our article titled "Adapting and Validating a Survey to Assess Host Communities' Support for Migration" has been published today in the Social Indicators Research Journal. 🎉🎉🎉 🔖 Unlike research on integration, our research focuses on the early years of forcibly displaced population movements, where host communities do not necessarily think of the migration as long-term or permanent. In that phase of humanitarian response, animosities towards migrants flare. It is necessary to make a short-term assessment, especially considering the social and infrastructure responses a community provides. 🔖 This work addresses this critical gap. We relied on social science and Tourism literature to inform the adaptation and design of a survey that enables the assessment of support for migration while extending the application of social exchange theory to migratory contexts. 👉👉 You can read the full article here: 📑 https://lnkd.in/eiebSZgF
