Dear Colleagues,
*Please distribute this message widely to your colleagues and listservs*:
The Center for Forced Migration Studies (CFMS) at Northwestern
University, Chicago, USA is launching its first annual Summer Institute
on Forced Migration Studies: "Unsettling Resettlement" from July
10th-17th, 2011.
The Northwestern Center for Forced Migration Studies Summer Institute is
a one-week, non-degree earning certificate program. The Summer Institute
offers participants an interdisciplinary and comparative understanding
of the causes and consequences of forced migration and refugee
situations. Focused each year on a key topic of concern in the field of
forced migration, the Summer Institute is structured to provide
participants expert knowledge and a team based forum where participants
actively engage to develop new approaches, policy recommendations and
implementation strategies. In commemoration of the 60th anniversary of
the UNHCR and the 1951 Refugee Convention, the topic for 2011 is
“Unsettling Resettlement” and seeks to engage participants in examining
the current refugee regime concerning resettlement and become part of
designing durable solutions.
The summer institute is open to both academics and practitioners seeking
to expand their knowledge of contemporary critical elements of forced
migration/refugee issues. Participants range from government officials
and NGO personnel to university faculty and graduate students.
