“Tuki tumarankeh,” is a Wolof expression meaning, “It is the traveler who faces the most difficulty.” So apt to the experiences of displaced peoples, it was chosen as the name for a nonprofit dedicated to advancing the welfare of displaced peoples, globally, through the conduct and promotion of high quality academic research.
- Tuki Tumarankeh is organized around the following goals.
- To advance the welfare of displaced peoples, globally, through the conduct and promotion of high quality academic research pertaining to issues affecting displaced populations.
- To educate and inform the general population about issues affecting displaced peoples through publications, presentations, and lectures.
- To create a collaborative community of like-minded researchers, writers, academics, and advocates concerned with issues affecting displaced populations.
- To increase funding access for researchers, writers, academics, and advocates concerned with issues affecting displaced populations by providing organizational affiliation and oversight for independent initiatives and programs.
In support of these goals, Tuki Tumarankeh is proud to support to both the Law and Society Association Collaborative research Network CRN11 – Displaced Peoples, and The Journal of Internal Displacement.
