CARFMS 2018: Dialogue Beyond Borders
May 22, 2018 — May 25, 2018
| Location: | Carleton University |
| Cost: | Free |
The Annual Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies will be held at Carleton from May 22-25, 2018.
Refugee and Forced Migration Studies has strived to foster both disciplinary and multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and co-disciplinary forms of research. It has been a field that has sought to engage with elements of policy and practice relating to displacement. It strives to engage with, and often directly involve, the perspectives and experience of individuals and groups that have been displaced. In these ways, is has been a field that has sought to speak beyond the various borders and boundaries that can constrain dialogue.
What have been the benefits and challenges of these various forms of dialogue? How can we, individually and collectively, promote more meaningful dialogue between disciplines, with the displaced, and between the research, policy and practitioner communities? How can such dialogue promote better protection, assistance and solutions with and for the displaced?
Deadline for submissions: 28 February 2018
