25 July-5 August 2022, Rumelifeneri Campus, Koç University, İstanbul
The program of 11th MiReKoc Summer School reflects the importance of rights-based perspectives in international migration. The program is a 2-week intensive course and participants attend lectures, discussions, and seminars taught by leading academics and professionals in the field of migration.
Reminding the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development in which states pledge to “Facilitate orderly, safe, regular and responsible migration and mobility of people, including through the implementation of planned and well-managed migration policies”, this crosscutting theme combined with the challenge against migrants’ access to human rights, the 11th MiReKoc Summer School will focus on rights-based perspectives in international migration through various sessions and lectures that bring together international scholars and PhD students working on migration issues. This year’s Summer School includes lectures and sessions exploring different themes focusing on both law and rights including international and national legislation connected to migration, legal and policy connection, development and integration, right to health, internally displaced persons, international migration, trafficking and asylum laws in migration research to offer a space for scholars and participants to reflect on legal and rights-based challenges.
