Chancellor Day Hall 3644 rue Peel, Montreal, QC, H3A 1W9, CA

The 2011 Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS) Conference will bring together researchers, policymakers, displaced persons and advocates from diverse disciplinary and regional backgrounds to discuss the human rights of migrants in the context of national and international security policies. This year's conference will be hosted by the Centre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓÆµ.

We invite participants from a wide range of perspectives to explore the practical, experiential, policy-oriented, legal and theoretical questions raised by security regimes at the local, national, regional and international levels. The conference will feature keynote and plenary speeches from leaders in the field.

Individual papers and organized panels will be structured around the following broad subthemes:

  1. Current trends and challenges in human rights protection of forced migrants.
  2. Human rights and durable solutions to forced migration.
  3. New approaches and theories in forced migration studies.

A number of pre-conference workshops and networking sessions will take place the day before the conference. More information on pre-conference workshops/session will be available on (York University) in February 2011.
