Summer School 2024 – “Global displacement, human rights and unequal development” (Thessaloniki)
We are thrilled to inform our students about the new edition of the Summer School organized by the University’s partner CITY College, University of York Europe Campus.
The 6th edition of the “Global displacement, human rights and unequal development” Summer School, taught and delivered in English, will take place between 27th of June – 4th of July 2024 (8 days), in Thessaloniki (Greece).
Building on the previous five annual editions, the 2024 Summer School on global displacement, human rights and unequal development, focuses on critical humanitarianism and the limitations posed on the migrants’ ability and even ‘right’ in the eyes of the public to express and perform parts of their identity beyond that of refugees or asylum seekers.
The Summer School is designed to address aspects of researching human rights and migration, and tries to tackle questions such as:
- How can Human Rights be meaningfully integrated into migration and development?
- What role can legal and social frameworks play in protecting the rights of internally or cross-bordered displaced people?
- What cross-national or international frameworks can facilitate access to citizenship?
- How are subjects of humanitarianism constructed, and how do migrants construct their own subject hood as rights claimants?
