Faculty of Law

Fauteux Hall, 57 Louis Pasteur

This conference brings together academics, activists, NGOs, policy makers, government representatives, and forced migrants themselves from a wide array of disciplinary and regional backgrounds in order to discuss diverse issues related to forced migration within and across borders. We invite participants from a range of perspectives to engage in a series of interdisciplinary dialogues in order to explore, debate and understand the varied aspects of forced migration. The conference will feature keynote and plenary speeches from leading figures in the field while panels will explore a number of sub-themes and important issues outlined below. We invite proposals for individual papers as well as organized panels structured around three broad sub-themes:

Forced Migration, Global Politics and the International Arena
Settlement, Security and Social Justice
Interdisciplinary Approaches to Forced Migration Research

This conference is being hosted by the University of Ottawa Law School and the Human Rights Research and Education Centre.
