Workshop Program and Speakers

The workshop will bring together scholars, educators, activists, and artists to consider a number of issues and questions in thinking, teaching, and intervening in a world with more than 84 million forcibly displaced people. The panels will focus on the politics and law of environmental insecurity; identities in displacement; state violence and internal displacement; international aid and advocacy, past and present; teaching about refugee, teaching refugees, and learning from refugees; and images and voices of refugees in photojournalism and art. The workshop will include discussions of the US, Israel/Palestine, India, Kenya, Mexico, Northern Ireland, and other cases.
