From November 2021 to March 2022, the Local Engagement Refugee Research Network (LERRN) and the Refugee Research Network (RRN) co-hosted a series of monthly webinars addressing the ethics of forced migration research at various stages of the research process, from setting the agenda to sharing the research. With a growing understanding in the field of forced migration that it is important to do research differently, this series was aimed at building a community of practice of people dedicated to supporting ethical and relevant research on forced migration, and at sharing best practices on designing and conducting research.
The LERRN-RRN Webinar Series on Ethics in Forced Migration Research was coordinated by Rachel McNally, LERRN Knowledge Mobilization and Translation Officer. For further information or ideas please contact us here.
LERRN is the Local Engagement Refugee Research Network. We are a team of researchers and practitioners committed to promoting protection and solutions with and for refugees. Our goal is to ensure that refugee research, policy and practice are shaped by a more inclusive, equitable and informed collective engagement of civil society.
RRN was created to mobilize and sustain a Canadian and international network of researchers and research centres committed to studying refugee and forced migration issues and to engaging policy makers and practitioners in finding solutions to the plight of refugees and displaced persons.
