About the Journal

The Quarterly on Refugee Problems – AWR Bulletin (QRP) is the official journal of the Association for the Study of the World Refugee Problem (AWR) for the dissemination of findings on migration issues. It fosters the global, interdisciplinary discourse between academics and practitioners to provide theoretical and practical answers to questions related to forced or voluntary migration.

QRP proudly looks back to publishing tradition dating back until 1954.

The regular due dates for the issues are March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year.

Mansour shows how the preservation of the Palestinian dialect in Lebanese exile over eight decades can be seen as an identity-forming response to marginalization. Kim & Sherry explore the dampening effect of hope and optimism on the otherwise expected reinforcing effect of self-efficacy on emotional exhaustion among employees and volunteers in the field of resettlement.
