#RLI SEMINAR NEXT WEEK - 'Conflict, statelessness and state succession: Reflections from South Asia and Africa' 5 December 2024, 6:00PM - 7:30PM, IALS Council Chamber, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, 17 Russell Square, London WC1B 5DR https://lnkd.in/eCxZqjQV The 1947 Partition of India engendered the biggest migration in recorded history, as more than 14 million people were displaced amidst large-scale violence. While this rightly receives considerable scholarly attention, there is little understanding of the 1971 War which ‘completed’ the Partition by severing West and East Pakistan (thereafter Bangladesh). By illuminating this history, this event will not only address the gap in refugee history but also provide important context to contemporary conversations about citizenship, borders, denationalisation, and national identity which continue to dominate much of the political discourse in South Asia today. Speakers: - Dr Antara Datta (Royal Holloway, University of London) - Dr Bronwen Manby (Human Rights Consortium, School of Advanced Study, University of London) Professor Philip Murphy, Director of History & Policy, will be the Chair of the event. This seminar is part of the 15th International Refugee Law Seminar Series which is being convened by the RLI in collaboration with #RefugeeHistory. #Statelessness #Refugees #RefugeeProtection #Migration #India #Pakistan #SouthAsia #Africa School of Advanced Study, University of London University of London Researching Internal Displacement Refugee Protection and Forced Migration Studies, School of Advanced Study
