Displaced Scholars Peer Mentoring Program | Kaldor Centre
The Kaldor Centre for International Refugee Law, UNSW, in partnership with the Raoul Wallenberg Institute, Lund University, is pleased to announce the launch of a new Displaced Scholars Peer Mentoring Program.
The Displaced Scholars Peer Mentoring Program aims to support early-career scholars who have experienced displacement and are researching and/or studying in the field of refugee and forced migration studies to pursue their academic and professional goals. Displaced scholars frequently face considerable barriers to accessing traditional scholarly opportunities and fora due to financial constraints, interruption to education or limitations imposed by legal status. This Program aims to contribute to increasing representation of refugees and other people with lived experiences of displacement within the field of refugee and forced migration studies, where there is a critical need to better understand and incorporate perspectives of displaced people.
Applications are now open for displaced scholars and other early career scholars who would like to join the program as ‘mentees’ and ‘mentors’. For further details and how to apply, see below. Applications close Monday 22 February.
