The Summer Course on Refugee Issues, Centre for Refugee Studies, York
University, Toronto June 11-19, 2005
Applications are now being accepted for the Summer Course on Refugee Issues at
the Centre for Refugee Studies at York University, Toronto. The goals of the
Centre are to engage in research on refugee issues, to inform public discussion
and policy development, to support innovative practices in international,
governmental, advocacy and service organizations, and to support teaching in
refugee and migration studies.
Internationally recognized and acclaimed, the Summer Course on Refugee Issues
offers postgraduate training in refugee issues for practitioners inside and
outside government who work on some aspect of refugee protection or
assistance. The course includes panel discussions, case studies, a simulation
exercise, and lectures from experts in the field, both local and international.
Topics covered in the course include, but are not limited to; root causes and
consequences of forced displacement, ethics of forced migration, the UNHCR,
cultural psychology of refugees, statelessness, internally displaced persons,
public health responses, international trafficking, and refugees and human
rights. A York University Centre for Refugee Studies Certificate is awarded
upon successful completion of the course.
Enrolment to the course is limited, and early submission of applications is
suggested.
