Listen to the first of a series of lectures by Dr. Patrick Forrest!

In this public lecture, Patrick Forrest, the Fulbright Visiting Research Chair in North American Studies at the University of Alberta, discusses protracted refugee crises and the refugee admission programs of the United States and Canada, identifying potential approaches to facilitate and increase resettlement opportunities by improving efficiencies in the adjudication and admission process. He also assesses the possibility of developing a Canadian and American Joint Emergency Management Framework for Refugee Crisis Deference, while emphasizing the need for deterrent and response mechanisms that address the sources of conflict. In this lecture, Mr. Forrest highlights his recent two month trip to the refugee camps in Southern Nepal to highlight his research recommendations.
