September 4, 2013 @ 5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
Australia’s asylum seeker policies have long been the subject of deep criticism. With this panel event, we wanted to discuss the problems but also open up a positive dialogue about practical, humane solutions. Our speakers were:

Dr Savitri Taylor, an academic at La Trobe University in Melbourne. Savitri is also a member of the Management Committee of the Refugee and Immigration Legal Centre and a member of the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network.
Dr Anne McNevin, a researcher in the area of Critical International Relations, Political Theory, and Migration Studies. Anne is associate editor of the journal Citizenship Studies and currently chairs the Forced Migration Research Hub, a network of scholars working on forced migration issues in the Asia-Pacific.
