15th International Refugee Law Seminar Series

Moments in Refugee History and the Development of the Modern Refugee Regime: Understanding refugee law and policy today

This mix of in-person and online seminars probes key thematic issues relating to the law and policy of refugee protection today, using important – and often less-recognised – moments in refugee history to further our understandings of developments in these fields. 

By providing a forum for scholars of history and contemporary refugee law and policy to engage, the cross-disciplinary series will explore the enduring legacies of key geo-political events and processes such as nationalism, colonialism, and capitalism, in the evolution of the today’s refugee regime. 

This series is being convened by the Refugee Law Initiative in collaboration with Refugee History.

The seminars are open to the public. Prior online registration is necessary due to limited numbers in each seminar. Sessions may be recorded and posted online following the event.
