Abstract
In partnership with the Freeman Spogli Institute (FSI), the Refugee Studies Centre at the University of Oxford, Asylum Access, and the United Nations High Commissioner on Refugees (UNHCR), I am starting a research project on refugees. The overall goal is twofold: to improve the lives of refugees and to advance our understanding of the phenomenon of forced migration. This project has the potential to be a large, long-term research agenda and to make an impact within Stanford, academia, and the refugee community.
