Faith-based humanitarianism conference
21-23 September 2010, Oxford
The Refugee Studies Centre and the Las Casas Institute on Ethics,
Governance and Social Justice are organizing an international conference
on 'Faith-based humanitarianism: the response of faith communities and
faith-based organisations to people affected by conflict, crisis and
forced migration'.
The conference aims to consider the motives, role and impact of
faith-based organisations in their responses to people affected by
conflict, crisis and forced migration and how faith-based approaches
differ from the responses of secular humanitarian organisations. The
conference will discuss the role faith plays in the lives of forced
migrants. It will touch on the occasional culpability of faith-based
institutions in generating conflicts leading to forced displacement
while also considering the role of faith communities and faith-based
organisations in conflict mediation and resolution. The conference will
convene academics, humanitarian practitioners, policymakers, theologians
and inter-faith representatives. Southern scholars, practitioners and
forced migrants will also be involved in debates on these issues which
directly affect their work and lives.
The Call for Papers and Expression of Interest Form are now available
online at: http://www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/conf_conferences_210910.html
