Listing of all the Working Papers published in the Series

The Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS) is made up of academics, researchers, practitioners, advocates, policymakers, jurists, students and all those who have an interest in protecting and advancing the rights of refugees and other forced migrants. Among the main purposes of CARFMS is the “promotion and the support of excellence in Canadian research and teaching of forced migration issues” and the active facilitation of the “dissemination of refugee and forced migration knowledge.”

Accordingly, CARFMS has undertaken a number of measures to fulfill its purposes, including, the launch of our CARFMS Working Paper Series. The CARFMS Working Paper Series is an online publication that provides open access to the work of some of the most interesting presentations and papers that have been delivered at CARFMS Annual Conferences and other relevant forums.
