Public seminar: The Migration Question in Uganda

RESCHEDULED

Migration is a growing phenomenon in many parts of the world and has been the focus of intense political debate in recent years. While most people have positive perceptions about it, there are also misconceptions and concerns. This lecture will focus on migration in Uganda, a relatively small African country that is currently the biggest host of refugees than any other country on the continent.

All welcome.
