The Oxford Handbook of International Refugee Law: A conversation
The Oxford Handbook of International Refugee Law is a ground-breaking new book. Its 65 chapters, involving 78 authors, critique the status quo in international refugee law and set the agenda for future research.
Bahati Kanyamanza will engage in a discussion with one of the Handbook’s editors, Professor Jane McAdam, and one of its authors, Catherine Dauvergne. They will discuss issues ranging from resettlement of refugees, the on-going challenges faced by women seeking protection, and displacement in the context of disasters and climate change.
- Catherine Dauvergne is the Provost and Vice-President Academic at Simon Fraser University, Canada.
- Bahati Kanyamanza is a trained teacher and lawyer, with extensive experience in non-profit leadership and advocacy. As a 14-year old, he fled the Democratic Republic of Congo and spent the next 18 years as a refugee in Uganda. He was resettled to the United States in 2016.
