Stephanie Schwartz, Assistant Professor of International Relations at the University of Southern California, is serving as a visiting scholar with C&C this term. As a visiting scholar, Schwartz will be working on her book manuscript, Homeward Bound: Refugee Return and Local Conflict After Civil War. Homeward Bound examines how return migration after civil wars affects local conflict dynamics in refugees’ country of origin, and in turn shapes future patterns of cross-border displacement. Schwartz is also working on several projects related to the centrality of refugee return in global asylum governance. Schwartz is presenting at C&C on November 17th, 2021.
