About Refugee Politics in IR

This one-day conference will look at how the recent influx of migration and refugee movement has affected various aspects of international affairs. It hopes to bring together inquisitive graduate students and scholars as well as practitioners from NGOs, government agencies and intergovernmental organizations to review, assess, and challenge the notions of displacement in today’s international arena. It seeks to expand the discourse on the political, economic and social implications of migration as nations reexamine policies in response to these crises, as well as further our understanding of the various causes and drivers of displacement. Attendance is open to all.
