| | | Description | Conference registration (free) This conference gathers diverse international scholars to explore a series of questions related to the global rise in immigration and refugee displacement: What kind of toleration and treatment do immigrants and refugees deserve by virtue of their humanity? How have national and international organizations acted to protect their human rights, and how should they act? What do liberal societies owe to immigrants and refugees from non-liberal societies? Immigration, Toleration, and Human Rights is the latest in a series of joint events between the UW Tri-Campus Research Cluster on Human Interactions & Normative Innovation (HI-NORM) and the Cluster of Excellence on the Formation of Normative Orders at the Goethe University in Frankfurt, Germany.
