Centre for Refugee Studies Annual Report 2019 – 2020

Its vision for 2015-2020 is “to be the leading refugee studies and forced migration research centre in North America, producing and disseminating new knowledge and critical analysis that enhances protection for and the well-being of refugees and other displaced people through policy and practice”. [...] CRS is very proud of the project, which laid the groundwork for one of the most extensive networks of scholars working on forced migration around the world – a network that we will continue to foster and support. [...] We look forward to celebrating the launch of this scholarship, which will give us an occasion to recognize the contributions of Anthony Richmond, a remarkable scholar, and one of the founding members of CRS. [...] While CRS is in a time of transition, we fully expect that by the end of next year, CRS will be well placed to embark on another five years as one of the world’s leading international hubs for refugee and forced migration research that advances the rights and interests of refugees and other displaced people.
