[IYRPsupportgroup] Searching for a Co-chair, and Blog on sedentist bias in support of IYRP 2026

[Maryam Niamir-Fuller]

Dear IYRP friends

After many years of being part of steering the IYRP ISG Coalition, I would
like to inform  you that I have stepped down as Co-Chair. Thank you all for
your support and encouragement. We are now searching for a replacement and
if you are interested, please contact Co-Chair Igshaan Samuels.

I also take this opportunity to bring to your attention this short opinion
in the White Horse Press which is reproduced from the Special Issue of
Nomadic Peoples entitled ‘Sedentist Biases in Law, Policy and Practic’,
edited by Greta Semplici and Cory Rodgers. The whole issue (and all 2023
content) and is published Open Access thanks to the ‘Subscribe to Open’
project for NP.

Mobility has many different shapes around the world. At a time when
migration of peoples (more popularly known as immigration) generates so
much passion and debate, let us not confuse it with "mobility", that is,
the tradition, science and art of being on the move as a response and
adaptation to natural variability in our environment.
