Theme and objectives

The 2018 edition of the AGS annual International Graduate Student Conference will focus on the theme "Refugee Politics in International Relations".

This conference will bring together inquisitive graduate students and scholars as well as practitioners from NGOs, government agencies and intergovernmental organizations to review, assess, and challenge the notions of displacement in today’s international arena. It will seek to expand the discourse on the political, economic and social implications of migration as nations reexamine policies in response to these crises, as well as further our understanding of the various causes and drivers of displacement. It will look as these issues in relation to such aspects as conflict, international law, human rights, security, identity, and transcultural exchange.

This conference is organized by graduate students enrolled in the M.A. in International Relations and Diplomacy program conducted at the American Graduate School in Paris in partnership with Arcadia University. It is coordinated by Chloe Bingham (M.A. Candidate 2018) under the faculty supervision of Professor Ruchi Anand.

It will be hosted at the American Graduate School in Paris, in the 6^th arrondissement - five minutes from the Luxembourg Gardens and the French Senate.

Program details will be posted here soon.

Open to all. Attendance is free. If you would like to attend please RSVP at conference@ags.edu.
