Dear Maryam,

 

Thank you so much for your outstanding and admirable leadership and hard work. 

I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation for your strong leadership on the IYRP.  You have been a strong and inspiring woman and a dear friend for us who has played a vital role in steering the coalition towards its goals and vision. 

I wish you the best and again thank you for everything and for being such a wonderful person. 

 

Warmest regards,

Nahid

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.
