Harvard Extension Student International Relations Club (HESIRC) proudly presents its second “Harvard Instructor Series on IR" discussion of the semester!

Join us online December 1, 2022 from 8:00PM - 9:00PM EST as we discuss "Refugees: Forced Migration in Global Perspective” with Dr. Danilo Mandić, Associate Senior Lecturer in the Department of Sociology at Harvard University, Center Associate at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies, and Faculty Associate at the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies. His research focuses on war, refugees, social movements, nationalism, ethnic relations, organized crime and conflict societies. His book Gangsters and Other Statesmen received the Mirra Komarovsky Best Book Award (2022) and the ASA Section on Peace, War, and Social Conflict's Best Book Award​​​​​​ (2022). His book The Syrian Refugee Crisis is forthcoming in 2023.

Dr. Mandić will help participants explore the historical precedents to contemporary refugee waves, learn about different host society approaches to asylum, compare government and criminal mechanisms of forced migration, and examine the reasons refugees are the object of increasing suspicion and hostility around the world.

This discussion is open to members of the public as well as all Harvard students and Harvard affiliates.
