Conference

Refugees come to Canada seeking safety for themselves and their families. How do we make sure that refugees and other newcomers feel safe and secure? How can we offer a warm welcome to all?

A two-day interdisciplinary symposium

The Swinburne Institute for Social Research, Melbourne, Australia, 12 & 13 November 2012

Aims: Politics, policies and approaches to management and care of forced migrants are shaped by moral and practical imperatives and informed by often-implicit sets of values and knowledge. This two-day symposium will critique current paradigms framing thinking and practice and will interrogate new paradigms that situate mobility and morality at the center.

The deadline for Submission of Abstracts has been extended to **June 15, 2012.**

The 14th Conference of the International Association for Studies in Forced Migration (IASFM) will be hosted by the Mahanirban Calcutta Research Group, Kolkata, India, January 6-9, 2013. This is the first time that the conference is being hosted in South Asia.
