How are human rights mediated in the global refugee crisis? How are the concepts of human security and boundaries affected? More importantly, what are the proposals put forth to resolve this crisis and what are new ways of thinking about it, focusing on refugee community-based mobilization? This panel will discuss  the shifting theoretical nuances of the migration crisis, but that also broaches on concrete solutions and approaches brought forth by academics in the field.
