Environmental Displacement Cluster

Description

The Environmental Displacement Cluster of the RRN focuses on research in two key areas: Environmentally-Induced Displacement and Nature-Society Relations in and of International Borders. The Refugee Research Network (RRN) has provided generous support to the Cluster on Environmental Displacement, which has allowed us to pursue two related projects: one on Environmentally‐Induced Displacement (EID) and the other on Nature‐Society Relations in and of International Borders. The core goals of both projects are:
  1. to promote networking opportunities around these issues;
  2. to contribute to the development of knowledge on these issues that is useful to the larger RRN and to studies within these areas more broadly; and,
  3. to develop opportunities for graduate students, including workshop organizing, networking with other scholars across different universities and geographical locations (including the Global South), and presenting and publishing their own original research findings on these topics.
