  • FFVT Summer School 2022 “Displacement, Governance and Human Rights”

    Date: 10 to 15 July 2022

    How has international refugee law evolved, which gaps remain and how can we address them? How are refugees protected in the different regions of Europe, Africa, Latin America, Asia and the Middle East? Which challenges are refugees exposed to locally? These and many additional questions are at the core of the FFVT Summer School 2022 “Displacement, Governance and Human Rights”.

    The Summer School deals with the changing configurations of today’s global refugee regimes in different parts of the world and on different levels of governance, providing insights into a plethora of topics: the historical emergence of the global refugee regimes, including postcolonial perspectives, global, regional, national and local governance and administrative practices, social integration, education in refugee accommodations, analyses of refugee-related discourses and media portrayals of asylum, gender and displacement, practices of resistance and solidarity, multiple actors’ perspectives, including experiences made by people on the move themselves, as well as crosscutting issues and research ethics.
