Books in the McGill-Queen's Refugee and Forced Migration Studies series

A detailed examination of the experiences of refugees and receiving communities during Canada's Operation Syrian Refugee from 2015 to 2016.

This project explores the ethics and methods of research in diverse forced migration contexts and proposes new ways of thinking about and documenting displacement. Contributors reflect honestly on both what has worked and what has not, providing useful points of discussion for future research by both established and emerging researchers.

UNHCR, the world's largest humanitarian organization charged with assisting displaced people globally, estimates over 60 per cent of refugees now live in urban areas. This book explores how UNHCR's approach to urban displacement has changed since the 1990s through an in-depth study of how UNHCR works and conceives its role in global politics today.
