The Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS) ninth Annual Graduate Student Conference will be held April 28th & 29th, 2006 at York University, Toronto. This event will offer students across disciplines the opportunity to present & discuss ideas in a professional, non-intimidating forum.
This year's theme, Diversity in Migration, reflects the wide range of issues, approaches, and realities emerging in the study of human displacement today. In a spirit of open-ness we take diversity to include diversity of theory, of methodology, of ideology * as well as the diversity of human culture and history. Similarly, the term 'migration' reflects not only the movements of refugees & migrants, but also movement of culture, ideas, and historical or political economic forces.
Graduate students (Masters/PhD) from all disciplines are invited to present papers at this conference. Abstracts should be received no later than Monday April 10, 2006. Final drafts of conference papers will be reviewed and professionally evaluated (with feedback) by editorial staff at CRS' internationally published journal, Refuge; one paper will be selected for publication in an upcoming edition. See below for suggested topics, which are offered as guidelines, not as constraints.
