Studies will run from May 6 to 31, with a 2-week intensive program from May 6-17, and an opportunity for participants to present their research the week of May 27th.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The program is designed to equip emerging scholars with new research skills, to encourage reflection on ethical and methodological issues in refugee research, and to facilitate dialogue among participants. LERRN partners from around the world have contributed pre-recorded lectures, which are combined with readings and daily live discussions. The course does not qualify for a university credit, but participants who engage throughout the course will receive a certificate of completion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"important-dates\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Important Dates<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Course Dates:<\/strong> May 6 to May 31, 2024 (including 2-week intensive May 6-17)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Deadline to apply:<\/strong> April 5, 2024<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Notification of acceptance:&nbsp;<\/strong>April 8, 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"course-format-and-schedule\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Course Format and Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During the 2-week intensive, students will be required to attend a daily live discussion group Monday-Friday. These groups are tentatively scheduled from 9-10am Eastern Daylight Time (Ottawa time) and 5-6pm EDT to accommodate participants in different time zones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These groups will be facilitated by the course facilitators and guest speakers. In preparation for the live class, students will be required to watch pre-recorded lectures contributed by LERRN partners (academics and practitioners) around the world and complete readings on that day\u2019s topic. In addition to the required lectures and readings, there will be a range of optional lectures and readings that participants can access based on interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<section class=\"w-screen px-6 cu-section cu-section--white ml-offset-center md:px-8 lg:px-14\">\n    <div class=\"space-y-6 cu-max-w-child-5xl  md:space-y-10 cu-prose-first-last\">\n\n        \n    \n    <dl class=\"cu-description cu-component-updated\">\n        \n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-week-1-principles-and-politics-of-forced-migration-research\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Week 1: Principles and Politics of Forced Migration Research\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-week-1-principles-and-politics-of-forced-migration-research\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Politics of the Global Refugee Regime: Past and Present<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Politics of the Global Refugee Regime: From Knowledge Production to the Everyday<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Partnered and Refugee-Led Research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cross-Cultural Research<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ethical Considerations<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <div class=\"grid pt-4 pb-3 border-b accordion border-cu-black-100 md:pt-6 md:pb-5 first:border-t\">\n        <dt class=\"font-semibold not-prose\">\n            <button class=\"flex items-center justify-between w-full text-left accordion__button\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"accordion-week-2-research-methods-and-knowledge-mobilization\">\n                <span class=\"flex-1 ml-auto text-left break-words whitespace-normal cu-icon\">\n                    Week 2: Research Methods and Knowledge Mobilization\n                <\/span>\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" fill=\"none\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke-width=\"1.5\" stroke=\"currentColor\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-slot=\"icon\" class=\"w-5 h-5 ml-auto transition-transform rotate-0 accordion__icon text-cu-black-500\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8.25 4.5l7.5 7.5-7.5 7.5\"><\/path>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/button>\n        <\/dt>\n        <dd class=\"p-0 mt-0 cu-prose cu-prose-first-last accordion__content md:p-0 md:mt-0\" hidden=\"\" id=\"accordion-week-2-research-methods-and-knowledge-mobilization\">\n            \n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Key Informant Interviews<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Focus Groups<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Surveys<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Historical Methods: Life History Research, Oral History, Archival Documents<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Knowledge Mobilization<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n        <\/dd>\n    <\/div>\n\n\n    <\/dl>\n\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the 2-week intensive, students will have the opportunity to present their research and receive feedback the week of May 27th.
