The ARC-UNHCR Conference on Refugee Studies and Forced Displacement welcomes paper submissions and poster presentations on any topics pertaining to refugees and issues of forced displacement.

We commit to a multidisciplinary approach and welcome original contributions from any field and methodological approaches, as long as they align with the conference focus on refugee studies and forced displacement.

Aside from full-length paper presentations, we also welcome poster presentations from graduate students, researchers, practitioners, academics, and members of refugee communities.

• All proposals should have a title and a 300-word abstract.

• The abstract should specify the research question, describe the approach used, and indicate the research conclusions.

Presentation Format:

• ​Paper presentations at the conference will generally be brief (around 15-20 minutes) and include a Q&A component with the audience.

• The conference will include a walk-through display of selected posters, with dedicated presentation sessions for researchers to discuss their findings and network with conference participants.
