International Online Schools in Forced Migration

About this opportunity

The University of Oxford’s renowned International School in Forced Migration will be held virtually twice this year, on 27-31 March 2023 and 10-14 July 2023.
Note: An in-person school will take place in Oxford on 2-8 July 2023. For more information about the in-person school, see here: Summer School Overview

The RSC’s International Online School offers an intensive, interdisciplinary and participative approach to the study of forced migration that enables people working with refugees and other
forced migrants to reflect critically on the forces and institutions that dominate the worlds of displaced people. The course combines Oxford’s tradition of academic excellence with a stimulating discussion-based method of teaching, learning and reflection.

The International Online School is principally designed for policymakers and practitioners working on refugee protection and related issues, normally with several (usually at least five) years of work experience. Participants typically include staff of the main refugee, migration and humanitarian international organisations; staff from refugee, human rights and humanitarian NGOs; and government officials working on refugee protection and related issues. Those from refugee backgrounds who work for refugee advocacy and community groups are particularly welcome.

There is a number of fully funded places to refugees and others with lived experience of forced displacement.
