Note that applications for travel grants are 1 November 2002, while
registration to the conference is 1 December 2002.
Research on internal displacement started relatively recently but has
already contributed to broadening the wider field of refugee studies. The
conference seeks to identify the state of the art and display the diversity
of IDP-related research. It will explore what research on internal
displacement has achieved so far, identify the most recent theoretical
contributions to the social sciences and how they may broaden the scope of
other disciplines. In short, where are the challenges and what are the
shortcomings?
The Research Group on Forced Migration welcomes you all to participate with
papers, suggest possible parallel sessions, and contribute to make the
conference a productive forum for research on internal displacement.
Kindest regards,
Cathrine Brun
