The issue of statelessness has risen considerably on the agenda of the United Nations, regional institutions, governments and civil society. There is also an increasing body of theoretical and empirical research looking at citizenship and lack thereof from various perspectives. It is within this context that the Refugee Studies Centre offers its third short course on statelessness and international law, aiming to examine the causes, consequences and remedies for statelessness around the globe.
This two day, non-residential course will be presented by some of the leading experts on this issue, including Professor Guy S. Goodwin-Gill, Professor of International Refugee Law at All Soul's College, Oxford; Mark Manly, Senior Legal Coordinator (Statelessness) at UNHCR; and Dr Laura van Waas, Senior Researcher and Manager of the Statelessness Programme, Tilburg Law School, the Netherlands.

Oxford Department of International Development, 3 Mansfield Road, Oxford OX1 3TB, UK
17-18 May 2014
Complex emergencies can result in movements of populations, widespread malnutrition, disease, mental illness, suffering and other outcomes that trigger humanitarian responses from a wide range of national and international actors. Many deleterious outcomes of complex emergencies could be prevented through effective programming directed toward physical and psychological health and well-being.
This two day short course will present critical examination of the normative frameworks for humanitarian responses in addressing the health and well-being of populations in complex emergencies. Alternative approaches to complex emergencies will also be presented and assessed. Instructors on the course are Dr Paul Kadetz, Assistant Professor, Leiden University College, The Hague, and Dr Holly Scheib, Director of Global Consulting Services for Sage Consulting Incorporated.
