Hello and welcome to the new and slightly revised Refuge Studies Blog for the 2008-2009 academic year. This blog will now form a part of our online resources to support both the taught masters programme in Refugee Studies at the University of East London and also the Refugee Council Archive and associated collections held within the archives at the UEL Docklands Campus Library.
Please feel free to use this blog and to recommend any improvements that you would like to see and we would very much like you to consider posting any comments to our posts here on the blog.
I hope you find this blog useful and good luck for the year ahead!
Best Wishes,
Paul Dudman
Archivist.

Researching Refugees Blog
A new Researching Refugees blog has been created by Elisa Mason. This blog was "created to track web technologies that can help refugee researchers keep up to date with new information in their field." It also supports Elisa's recent article in the latest edition of Refugee Survey Quarterly, (Volume 26 Number 3, 2007), entitled "Keeping up with refugee research."
