Academics and advocates: How can research and refugee action inform each other in Sussex?

8 May 2019 17:30–19:30

Online

In the run up to this year’s Sussex Refugees Tales Walk and as we approach World Refugee Day, the Lewes Organisation in Support of Refugees and Asylum Seekers (LOSRAS) in collaboration with the Institute of Development Studies (IDS) will host a public meeting to showcase locally produced research with relevance to refugees, and asylum seekers, and those seeking to assist them.  This event brings together refugee support groups and academics to reflect on implications of the research for local support work, and engagement of local advocacy and action groups in future research.
