The conference seeks poster submissions including, but not limited to, the themes related to forced displacement that focus on Health and Technology; Art, Literature, and Translation; Faith and Displacement; Education and Pedagogy, Disabilities; Deportations; and Asylum.
The deadline for submissions is December 1, 2025. Poster submissions must include a title, abstract (max 350 words) and a short biography (max 250 words).
