The Refugee Studies Centre's Public Seminar Series for Michaelmas term 2016 will focus on:
‘Emergency Shelter and Forced Migration’
Convened by Tom Scott-Smith and Mark E. Breeze, this interdisciplinary seminar series examines the nature and challenges of emergency shelter in the context of forced migration. What are the key issues in the design and provision of shelters? What does better shelter mean and how can we get there? How can political dynamics be managed in the organization of camps and urban areas? What lessons emerge from over forty years practical work in the shelter sector? The speakers in this series include academics and practitioners from the fields of architecture, planning, anthropology, humanitarianism, and design. The seminar series complements the forthcoming issue of Forced Migration Review on Emergency Shelter, to be published in 2017.
The series kicks off on 12 October with a lecture by Tom Scott-Smith titled ‘Emergency shelter: reflections on a new European infrastructure’.
Seminars take place at 5pm on Wednesdays at Queen Elizabeth House, 3 Mansfield Road, Oxford, OX1 3TB. Full details are available at: http://www.rsc.ox.ac.uk/michaelmas-2016
