Target Audience

Graduate students; practitioners, policy makers, lawyers, community-based activists, and all those interested in learning more about refugee and forced migration issues.

Objectives

The Summer Course provides an interdisciplinary, interactive and experiential approach to the study of forced migration. Through attending lectures and related small group sessions, course participants develop a deepened understanding of the political, economic, social and cultural contexts of forced migration, and the major state and non-state institutions involved in refugee protection and advocacy.

 

Our goal at the Centre for Refugee Studies (CRS), one of the largest and most active refugee studies centres in the world, is to assist with building and updating the increasing and changing knowledge needs of refugee scholars and practitioners.

The Summer Course provides:

- an interdisciplinary, interactive and experiential approach to the study of forced migration and refugee issues.

- a comparative global approach that exposes participants to the different perspectives of scholars and field-based specialists from Canada and abroad.

- highlights from research and practical work in different world regions, including North and South America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East

- a blend of well-respected academics and practitioners with an excellent national and international track record of research, policy engagement and publications.

- a York University – Centre for Refugee Studies Summer Course Certificate.

Courses

This is an intensive 5-day, non-credit course.  All participants receive a certificate of completion. 

CRS offers partial bursaries to a limited number of participants based on availability of internal funding and need. Subsidy form found on our website.
