Call for Papers
Most former refugees to Aotearoa/New Zealand are resettled in cities. But how do specific urban areas influence refugee resettlement? What opportunities and challenges surround such aspects as housing, education, health and language provision? This two-day conference seeks to examine refugee resettlement in New Zealand by bringing together academics, policymakers, NGOs, practitioners, former refugees, and the general public.
Conference organisers are seeking proposals for 30-minute papers that consider any aspect of refugee resettlement in urban New Zealand.
Deadline: 1 August 2018:
Please send proposals to Lea Doughty at gmevents@otago.ac.nz
