ANUCES and Freilich Foundation Summer School for Graduate Students
An interdisciplinary Summer School for graduate students from January 16th to 19th, 2011 at the Australian National University.
The arrival of ‘boat people’ on Australian shores has provoked vigorous public debate
about how Australia should respond. The Summer School for 2011 will explore this
question, providing participants with a wide array of accurate and up-to-date resources
and the opportunity to engage with experts in the field. The summer school will include a
comparison with the situation in Europe.
