The Emerging Scholars' Network Annual Workshop brings together early career scholars in the field of refugee and forced migration studies.
The 2023 Emerging Scholars' Network Workshop is co-hosted by the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law and the Forced Migration Research Network at UNSW Sydney. The workshop is held over two days from Tuesday 21 - Wednesday 22 November in Sydney, Australia. It follows the 2023 Kaldor Centre Conference which will be held the day prior on Monday 20 November.
The 2023 Emerging Scholars' Network Workshop program includes in-person and online sessions with a range of registration options. Online attendance is free.
We are pleased to share the agenda overview below. Further details with full program and session information to follow for registered participants prior to the workshop.
This hybrid workshop on Tuesday 21 November will feature over 20 emerging scholars showcasing new and original research. It is an opportunity to hear about work in progress and connect with a diverse range of researchers from around the world working in the field of refugee and forced migration studies. The workshop will be run in-person at the UNSW Faculty of Law & Justice in Sydney, with an informal dinner to be arranged in the evening. For participants who are unable to travel to the workshop, there is the opportunity for virtual attendance.
This in-person workshop on Wednesday 22 November is an opportunity for emerging scholars to learn more about research methods and approaches relevant to research in refugee and forced migration studies. The workshop is co-hosted by the Kaldor Centre for International Refugee law and the Forced Migration Research Network and this year will focus on trauma-informed approaches to research. Please consult the program for further information about the sessions when it becomes available.
To finish the Emerging Scholars Network Workshop for 2023, we have organised a social bushwalk in partnership with Emu Trekkers - Australia's first not-for-profit outdoors tour operator and a licensed Ecopass tour operator in the National Parks around Sydney. This is a great chance to stretch the legs and get to know one another as we hike for 7km on the La Perouse Coastal Track in Kamay Botany Bay National Park. This walk is suitable for people with a moderate level of fitness and will take around 3-4 hours to complete, including rests. Please bring closed shoes with good grip, a bottle of water, sunscreen, and a hat. An alternative social event will be planned in the event of significant wet weather. Please note that there are risks involved in this activity. By registering and attending this hike, it is understood that you have read, understood and considered Emu Trekkers' Waiver and agree to its terms.
