With support from the Forum for Asian Studies the Depatment of Social Anthropology, Stockholm University organises the international workshop ”Migration and displacement in and from Afghanistan” on 20-21 September, 2013.

Displacement within and from Afghanistan is complex, having various causes and forms. People are forced into displacement because of poverty, drought, armed conflict, or a combination of these factors. For many Afghans, displacement has become protracted. The aim of the conference is to bring together researchers with an interest in Afghanistan and its diaspora for exchanging ideas and networking.
