The Annual CRS Howard Adelman Lectures were inaugurated in 2008 and are one of the major highlights of the Centre鈥檚 academic year. This lecture series is intended not only to honour our founding Director, Howard Adelman, one of the pioneers of the field of refugee and forced migration studies and one of its foremost authorities, but, to provide an opportunity for outstanding and accomplished scholars/practitioners/advocates in the field to address a significant issue and concern that impacts directly on refugees and other forced migrants, affecting their human rights and human dignity as people.
