This week's Work in Progress seminar will be given by Anita H. Fábos, Department of International Development, Community, and Environment, Clark University and Cathrine Brun, CENDEP, Oxford Brookes University. They explain the topic:
Despite the contemporary rise of long-term refugee displacement, policies in place to manage it are based on remarkably static notions of home. In our talk, we use a feminist analysis of ‘home’ to critique binary policies of “home” and “not-home.” Instead, we propose that refugees themselves link different temporal and spatial dimentions of home into fluid constellations of home, and maintain these constellations through their mobile homekeeping practices. The multi-dimensional homes that refugees make through their daily house-keeping activities, networking and memory-work, and navigation through the international humanitarian system are recognizable as the shared human experience of home and a basis for improved and inclusive policies.
The seminar will be at 17.00 in the Abercrombie Building, Headington Campus, Third Floor, Stdent Hub, White Space. All welcome. See here for details of all the seminars.
