Humanising Refugee Research

Patricia Daley (University of Oxford), Yolanda Weima (York University, Canada), Hanno Brankamp (University of Oxford)

Workshop: Humanising Refugee Research
What ontologies and epistemologies inform contemporary scholarship on refugees? Has the field of refugee studies lost its scholar-activist roots? What are the impacts of the policy-orientation of the field? Has it been led to reflect contemporary states' dehumanization of and hostility toward asylum-seekers and refugees? We argue that the current methodologies and foci of mainstream refugee studies limit the production of new and transformative knowledges that could have emancipatory impacts. This workshop seeks to join with existing radical research trajectories, and carve out new trajectories in refugee research that re-humanize people seeking refuge. We will explore how we can re-centre critical research in refugee studies. Can Critical Race Theory, and Postcolonial/Decolonial/anti-colonial/global Southism approaches bring fresh insights and point to more emancipatory scholarship and activism on refugees? How might such approaches inform the field methodologies that researchers employ?
The event will take place at the School of Geography and the Environment (SoGE), University of Oxford, Beckitt Room, 9 November 2018, 10.30 a.m. - 05.30 p.m.
The Keynote address will be delivered via video message by Behrouz Boochani (journalist, author of No Friend but the Mountains and detainee on Manus Island).
