The 6th Georg Arnhold Symposium will explore the relationship between refugee hosting and refugee education in large refugee hosting states in the Global South in light of global policy shifts that attempt to stem secondary movement. The 2019 symposium brings together senior scholars who are leaders in the field of refugee education, junior scholars doing cutting edge fieldwork on the changing face of education and refugee hosting, and scholar-practitioners engaged in applied research on the local implementation of policy.  

The symposium is jointly organized by the Georg Arnhold Program on Education for Sustainable Peace, Braunschweig, Germany, the Education Program at Barnard College, Columbia University, New York, United States, and the Migrant Personhood and Rights: Crises of Recognition working group at the Center for the Study of Social Difference, Columbia University, New York, United States.
