This one-day conference will look at how the recent influx of migration and refugee movement has
affected various aspects of international affairs. It hopes to bring together inquisitive graduate students
and scholars as well as practitioners from NGOs, government agencies and intergovernmental
organizations to review, assess, and challenge the notions of displacement in today’s international
arena. It seeks to expand the discourse on the political, economic and social implications of migration as
nations reexamine policies in response to these crises, as well as further our understanding of the
various causes and drivers of displacement. Attendance is open to all.
