The March 2019 edition of the ‘The Forced Migration Review’ is out. Education is one of the most important aspects of our lives – vital to our development, our understanding and our personal and professional fulfilment throughout life. In times of crisis, however, millions of displaced young people miss out on months or years of education, and this is damaging to them and their families, as well as to their societies, both in the short and long term. This issue of FMR includes 29 articles on Education, and two ‘general’ articles. A free digital download is available of this edition; https://www.fmreview.org/education-displacement |

Centre Research Seminar Series - EU Migrant Worker Project with Professor Catherine Barnard. 15th May 2019, 4pm – 6pm, Institute of Criminology, Sidgwick Ave, CB3 9DA
This project team has been exploring the experiences of people who come to work in the UK from other EU Member States. Their aim has been to gather robust empirical evidence about EU migrants' experiences of finding work and being in employment in the UK, as well as exploring EU migrant workers’ use of social security, particularly in situations where work cannot be found or where pay is sufficiently low that it needs to be supplemented. The project hopes to shed new light on the big question of how we adequately regulate migration within a socio-economically diverse EU and a post-financial crisis context. It is hoped that this research project will help to inform public debate as we reconceive and renegotiate the UK's relationship with the EU.

DUE May 15 2019: The ASAA’s 3rd Biennial Conference 2019: African and Africana Knowledges: Past Representations, Current Discourses, Future Communities. Nairobi, Kenya The aim of this year’s conference is to invite and initiate a scholarly stocktaking of the knowledge produced by Africans in Africa and the Diaspora in various forms—from scholarly work to artistic expressions—and to examine representations and current African realities and emerging futures with African knowledges. In other words, by stocktaking accomplishments and challenges facing African peoples globally, we hope to address the ideological basis of the current disproportions in the distribution of worth, power and wellbeing affecting Africans and diasporic Africans. Call for papers/panels - abstracts are due in May 15 and May 30, 2019 More information about this event…
