International Online School in Forced Migration Refugee Studies Centre, University of Oxford 10-14 July 2023 The RSC’s International Online School in Forced Migration will involve an intensive, interdisciplinary and participative approach to the study of forced migration that enables people working with refugees and other forced migrants to reflect critically on the forces and institutions that dominate the worlds of displaced people. The course combines Oxford’s tradition of academic excellence with stimulating discussion-based method of teaching, learning and reflection. The Online School covers subjects including: Conceptualising Forced Migration, The Moral Foundations of Refugee Protection, International Law and Refugee Protection, and Future Directions in International Displacement, as well as a choice of optional modules. All the sessions will be run and organised by experts in the field of forced migration studies. Participants will have early access to pre-recorded lectures and readings which will be followed by live online seminars and discussions. The School’s engaging academic content will be complemented by a range of social and networking opportunities for participants. The Online School is principally designed for policymakers, practitioners and early career academics working on refugee protection and related issues, normally with several (usually at least five) years of work experience. Participants typically include staff of the main refugee, migration and humanitarian international organisations; staff from refugee, human rights and humanitarian NGOs; and government officials working on refugee protection and related issues. Those from refugee backgrounds who work for refugee advocacy and community groups are particularly welcome. Join us and a diverse group of participants from around the world as we take some of the best features of the International Summer School and offer them in a new, financially accessible and concentrated format. As always, the School will be anchored by its academic tutors. The tutors for the 2023 Online School will be: Dr Catherine Briddick (Assistant Professor, Warwick University School of Law); Professor Matthew Gibney (Elizabeth Colson Professor of Politics and Forced Migration, RSC); and Professor Tom Scott-Smith (Associate Professor of Refugee Studies and Forced Migration, RSC) The 2023 School will also feature a diverse range of speakers from academia and international organisations.
