The Centre for Refugee Studies is engaged in research on refugee
issues; it informs public discussion as well as policy
development and practice innovation by international,
governmental, advocacy and service organizations; and it
supports teaching in refugee and migration studies.
Refugee studies is conceived in broad terms, as being concerned
with the displacement of populations and individuals across and
within borders, for reasons of persecution, expulsion, violence,
violation of fundamental human rights and loss of essential
human security and livelihood. It covers not only accommodation,
protection, and assistance for refugees through asylum,
settlement, resettlement and reintegration, but also the
prevention of displacement.
Its approach is necessarily interdisciplinary and it respects
diversity in perspectives. |
