Dear Colleagues
After the success of the first stream on Refugee and Asylum Law: Theory, Policy and Practice at the 2015 Socio-Legal Studies Association conference, I am sending out a Call for Papers for the 2016 Conference to be held in Lancaster University from 5-7 April, 2016. Website here: http://www.lancaster.ac.uk/law/slsa2016/ . I have kept the call the same in view of its on-going relevance to current issues.
“This theme welcomes papers that focus on any issues relating to the theory, policy and practice of refugee and asylum law at an international or national level. In view of the current global refugee crises, and the apparent failure of the “international community” to address the problems confronting millions of asylum seekers and refugees, papers that address the following are particularly welcome:
• Conceptualising asylum and refugee protection
• The role of law in achieving or diminishing (access to) protection
• The role of the UNHCR and NGOs in refugee protection
• Regional protection regimes and access to asylum
• The search for durable solutions
• Future challenges for asylum and refugee protection
Please feel free to contact the stream organiser, Dallal Stevens ([log in to unmask]), with any enquiries about the theme.
There is no restriction on methodology and, in line with the interdisciplinary nature of the SLSA, papers are welcome from any academic background.”
Deadline for Submission is 18 January 2016.

I do hope you will consider submitting a paper. As you can see, all offers are encouraged, so please forward to interested parties!
I look forward to hearing from you.
With best wishes
