CARFMS 2025: Canadian, Regional, and International Responses to Forced Migration
The 16th Annual Conference of the Canadian Association for Refugee and Forced Migration Studies (CARFMS) hosted in collaboration with the Toronto Metropolitan Centre for Immigration and Settlement (TMCIS) will take place from May 26-29, 2025 at Toronto Metropolitan University.
The conference will explore Canadian, Regional, and International Responses to Forced Migration and aims to bring together researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and people with lived experience of displacement. Through keynotes, plenaries, presentations, panels, and other activities, the conference aims to explore comprehensive approaches to address these pressing issues, to promote innovative research, and to encourage knowledge sharing in the field of refugee and forced migration studies.
Sessions will explore the following sub-themes:
- Regional Approaches to Asylum in the Americas
- Peacebuilding and Addressing the Root Causes of Displacement
- International Cooperation in Response to Forced Migration
- Manufacturing Crisis
- Innovative Research Methods and Approaches
This is an excellent opportunity for emerging scholars and established researchers alike to showcase their work and engage with a broader audience of national and international academics, non-governmental and community organizations, practitioners, and people with lived experiences of displacement.
