The Refugee-Led Research Hub (RLRH) at Oxfordâs Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) is launching a 12-month fellowship for refugees and other displaced scholars who are interested in graduate-level study in the field of Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (RFMS). It will be run in collaboration with the British Institute in Eastern Africa (BIEA). The fellowship will include world-class teaching, mentorship, and professional development activities provided by specialists in the field. Activities will span đđĄđ«đđ đđđ«đŠđŹ đšđ đŹđđźđđČ đđ§đ đ«đđŹđđđ«đđĄ (đđđ đđđđâđđźđ§đ đđđđ) followed by a đ-đŠđšđ§đđĄ đ©đ«đšđđđŹđŹđąđšđ§đđ„ đ©đ„đđđđŠđđ§đ with RLRH, RSC, BIEA, or other academic and research institutes. Fellows will hold affiliated membership statuses with both the RSC and BIEA, and will be awarded a certificate from the University of Oxford upon completion. Fellows will receive monthly stipends for all 12 months of the programme.

đ. đđđđđđŠđąđ đđ§đ đ«đđŹđđđ«đđĄ đđ«đđąđ§đąđ§đ : Fellows will complete 12 classes delivered by RSC faculty that introduce the main disciplines, methods, and themes in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies. Additional seminars with Oxford and BIEA colleagues will enable learners to acquire a broad understanding of key academic debates in RFMS and to develop critical thinking and analytical skills. They will also build research skills to carry out an individual or group research project, and will be supported to publish their work in prestigious academic and research outlets.
đ. đđđ§đđšđ«đŹđĄđąđ©: Fellows will have regular, hands-on interactions with specialists on topics related to forced migration. They will receive supervision from RSC staff, study alongside current students on the RSC's Masters in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies, and participate in group and 1:1 mentorship activities with other scholars.
đ. đđ«đšđđđŹđŹđąđšđ§đđ„ đđđŻđđ„đšđ©đŠđđ§đ: Fellows will receive individualised support to ensure access to onward academic, research, and other professional opportunities once they have finished the fellowship. Throughout the fellowship, we will run graduate school information sessions, hold career conversations, and facilitate access to a network of RFMS specialists.  In the final months of the programme, all fellows will take part in a 3-month placement where they will apply their acquired academic and research skills in a professional setting.
