Refugee Studies Centre
The Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) was established in 1982, as part of the University of Oxford’s Department of International Development (Queen Elizabeth House), in order to promote the understanding of the causes and consequences of forced migration and to improve the lives of some of the world’s most marginalised people. Its philosophy is to "combine world-class academic research with a commitment to improving the lives and situations for some of the world’s most disadvantaged people".
Overview
The RSC is regarded as one of the world’s leading centres for multidisciplinary research and teaching on the causes and consequences of forced migration. In 2002, the RSC was awarded a Queen's Anniversary Prize for Higher and Further Education in recognition of its pioneering research and innovative education, training and outreach programmes.
The Centre aims to approach the challenges of improving humanitarian performance and accountability and advancing the human rights of the displaced through a broad program of work organised around three interconnected activities.
