As an organisation that welcomes researchers from around the world, the Expatriate Archive Centre (EAC) seeks high-quality academic works that improve our understanding of expatriate life. Expatriates as a group tend to ‘fall through the cracks’ when it comes to being represented in official government archives, as well as in global migration studies. With the EAC Thesis Award, we wish to support critical scholarship at the master's degree level that endeavours to shift and expand understandings of what an 'expatriate' is.

The deadline for the 2022 EAC Thesis Award is 31 March 2022. Please visit the EAC website for more information about thesis criteria, jurors, and how to apply.

Kristine Racina is the director of the Expatriate Archive Centre, a non-profit archive in the Netherlands with a global outreach.
