The growing national and international interest on the refugee phenomenon is currently reflected in the growing number of students working in the field of Forced Migration in the UK. Postgraduate students in different universities are researching various aspects of the issue from different perspectives. The First Annual Student Conference on Forced Migration that was held in Oxford in February 2003, showed to be a successful response to the need for a postgraduate student forum on forced migration and asylum in the UK. Therefore, a second event has been organised with the same ethos, entirely coordinated by students with the aim of creating a relaxed and supportive environment in which postgraduates can meet, present and share their research and their experience.

All post-graduate students (MA/MSc/MPhil/PhD, etc.) studying any aspect of Forced Migration are invited to submit abstracts for papers, workshops, posters or any other input they wish to share.

Deadline for abstracts - 20th of January, 2004

Please send abstracts(no longer that 200 words) along with 150 word personal profile to fmsc04@hotmail.com by January 20th, 2004

For any further enquiries, email us at fmsc04@hotmail.com

Please pass this call on to any potentially interested students!!
