The East African Centre for Forced Migration & Displacement (EACFMD) and the University of Oxford’s Refugee -Led Research Hub (RLRH) in Nairobi, are collaborating to offer 3-month long research placements to two scholars who are interested in graduate-level research and have lived experience of displacement (e.g., as a current/former refugee, asylum seeker, IDP, stateless, or other category).

The three successful attachés will participate in EACFMD & RLRH research activities, scholar mentorship and trainings, and work closely with accomplished scholars and researchers to support ongoing and proposed research projects in East Africa. They will be involved in research on various thematic areas, including:
climate change-induced displacement, refugee livelihoods/economies, protection (law/policy), and complementary pathways.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐚𝐬𝐭 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐂𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐅𝐨𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 is East Africa’s first truly ‘local’ multi-disciplinary centre dedicated to promotion of the scholarship and practice of international refugee law. The Centre seeks to be an innovative, unique catalyst for the growth of inclusive and rights-based refugee policies & legislations as well as the promotion of forced migration studies in Africa.

𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐠𝐞𝐞-𝐋𝐞𝐝 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 𝐇𝐮𝐛 is an initiative of the Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) at the University of Oxford. It provides support to displaced scholars to advance an agenda for refugee-authored scholarship and research in the field of Forced Migration Studies. The hub is located in Nairobi at the British Institute in Eastern Africa (BIEA), allowing the RSC to leverage its existing networks in the region to build a core team of displaced graduate-level researchers.
