New Resource: Rethinking Refuge

The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) has launched a new platform called "Rethinking Refuge" that provides access to "short, research-based articles aimed at rethinking refugee issues from a variety of angles, such as politics, international relations, ethics, law, history, and anthropology."

The impetus for this resource came out of "the massive influx of refugees into Europe in 2015-2016. The Refugee Studies Centre received a heightened number of requests to share research about the international refugee regime and it became clear that both interest in and questions about refugee policies and reforms abounded."

"The platform seeks to bridge the gap between scholarly research, policy-making, and public understanding, and in so doing develop a research agenda able to engage meaningfully with the challenge of forced displacement in the 21st century. The articles fall under six core themes, each hugely relevant to the international refugee regime today: refugee protection, emergency and crisis, mobility, refugee agency, humanitarianism, and refugees’ economic lives."
