Refugee Studies Collections
This LibGuide describes the Refugee Studies collections available at the Bodleian Social Science Library and relevant online resources.
The Library contains the collections of the former Refugee Studies Centre (RSC) Library and houses material supporting the research and teaching of the RSC.
The collections cover the causes, experiences, and consequences of forced displacement and have an international coverage. Reflecting the multi-disciplinary nature of the study of forced migration, the Library actively collects materials covering psycho-social issues, human rights, refugee law, relief administration, anthropology, sociology, international affairs, education, health and nutrition.
The LibGuide for Displaced persons: human rights protection and legal resources provides a wealth of links via the Bodleian Law Library.
