Research project:

Conflits et migrations: Réflexions sur les catégories et la généalogie des migrations au Moyen-Orient [access]
- "The aim of LAJEH is to deepen knowledge on forced migration in the Middle East, analysing current refugee flows in their historical and regional contexts. Through a cross-disciplinary and empirically-driven approach, it analyses the implications of forced migrations on the host countries and the latter's response. This research project will focus not only on registered refugees but also on the wide range of displaced and migrants groups affected by conflicts and their consequences."
