This event launches the Refugee and Migration Network at the University of Brighton, with the support of Radical Futures. Bringing together academics, students, community groups and policy makers to attempt to answer the question:

What role and responsibilities do Universities have in relation to refugees?

The event seeks to look at what universities are already doing and establish what they should be doing to support refugees. This could be involving pastoral support, scholarships, teaching facilities, as well as supporting academics who are researching in this area. This network wants to support academics and community groups in developing collaborative projects that support refugees and migrants within their communities.

Programme

Moving forward the network will focus on the place and role of the University/Universities with two open workshops/seminars in each term. Please follow https://blogs.brighton.ac.uk/refugeeandmigrationnetwork/ for updates and information.
