PALESTINE REFUGEES AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
2-3 March 2018
The British Institute, 102 Uhod Street, Tla' Al-Ali, Amman, Jordan
This two-day short course places the Palestinian refugee case study within the broader context of the international human rights regime. It examines, within a human rights framework, the policies and practices of Middle Eastern states as they impinge upon Palestinian refugees. Through a mix of lectures, working group exercises and interactive sessions, participants engage actively and critically with the contemporary debates in international law and analyse the specific context of Palestinian refugees in the Middle East (Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the West Bank, Gaza and Israel).
This course is suitable for: experienced practitioners; graduate researchers; parliamentarians and staff; members of the legal profession; government officials; and personnel of inter-governmental and nongovernmental organisations.
Instructors: Professor Dawn Chatty (Emeritus Professor in Anthropology and Forced Migration and Former Director of the Refugee Studies Centre), and Professor Susan M. Akram (Clinical Professor at Boston University School of Law).

INTERNATIONAL SUMMER SCHOOL IN FORCED MIGRATION
1-13 July 2018
Queen Elizabeth House, Wadham College and Harris Manchester College, Oxford
The Summer School offers an intensive, interdisciplinary and participative approach to the study of forced migration. It enables people working with refugees and other forced migrants to reflect critically on the forces and institutions that dominate the world of the displaced. The course combines the very best of Oxford University's academic excellence with a stimulating and participatory method of critical learning and reflection.
The Summer School is principally designed for policymakers and practitioners working on refugee protection and related issues, normally with several (usually at least five) years of work experience. Participants also include scholars, researchers, practicing lawyers, journalists and activists. We are particularly keen to include those from a refugee background who work for refugee advocacy and community groups.
