Animal migration is a magnificent sight: a mile-long blanket of cranes rising from a Nebraska river and filling the sky; hundreds of thousands of wildebeests marching across the Serengeti; a blaze of orange as millions of monarch butterflies spread their wings to take flight. Nature’s great migrations have captivated countless spectators, none more so than premier ecologist David S. Wilcove. In No Way Home, his awe is palpable - as are the growing threats to migratory animals.

The Monarch Butterfly Migration focuses a wider lens on the effects of climate change and the tensions between advocacy and scientific accuracy. This book reminds us to notice the natural wonders in our own backyards.

This podcast draws on new research to unpack the forces shaping migration flows and the political conflicts surrounding them—from policies and refugee crises to workforce dynamics and integration.

Conversations about migration are often inside the box: numbers, causes, effect on the economy, how to prevent it. This podcast unboxes migration. It opens up questions on movement and justice and disrupts conventional thinking to better understand how mobility, in all its forms, is a necessary part of all our lives.Our approach is creative, making connections between different types of movement, going beyond the human and across time. It is also critical, challenging assumptions and prioritising justice, as well as conceptual and research driven (we are academics after all!). We call this ‘...

Volume 13 of The Chronicles of Canada Series delves into the often-overlooked stories of the Loyalists‚Americans who chose to stay loyal to the British Crown during and after the American Revolution. While many historical accounts portray these individuals negatively, this volume offers a fresh perspective, exploring their motivations for relocating to Canada and beyond instead of remaining in the fledgling United States. Estimates suggest that around a million Loyalists sought refuge in Canada between 1783 and 1784, as articulated by contemporaries like John Adams. These were not ...

C’est plus de 300 espèces d’oiseaux qui reviennent chaque printemps au Québec. Si certains se dirigent vers le Grand Nord, d’autres s’établissent dans les régions plus au sud de la province, ainsi que dans nos villes. Mais qu’est-ce qui pousse les oiseaux à faire ces longs voyages chaque année? Quels sont les avantages que procure la migration? Comment les décisions se prennent-elles dans les groupes d’oiseaux en mouvement? Et comment se fait-il qu’ils reviennent année après année aux mêmes endroits? Autant de questions fascinantes et bien plus encore sont l’objet de...

Every spring, billions of birds sweep north, driven by ancient instincts to return to their breeding grounds. This vast parade often goes unnoticed, except in a few places where these small travelers concentrate in large numbers. One such place is along Lake Erie in northwestern Ohio. There, the peak of spring migration is so spectacular that it attracts bird watchers from around the globe, culminating in one of the world’s biggest birding festivals. Now climate change threatens to disrupt patterns of migration and the delicate balance between birds, seasons, and habitats.

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work.
