The field of refugee and forced migration studies has grown significantly over the past two decades, both in size and in scope of enquiry. How is the field currently understood and experienced in Kenya, one of the largest refugee-hosting countries in the world?
In the lead-up to the 2024 conference of the International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM), to be hosted by Moi University in Nairobi, Kenya, join Dulo Nyaoro for an informal conversation on the past, present and future of refugee and forced migration studies in Kenya and the themes that will animate the next conference.
