"The nature of forced displacement is much more unpredictable than in the past and much more complex," Professor Roger Zetter announced in 2012, when 1 in every 100 people were forcibly displaced. While the journey of refugees from Syria to Europe is the most immediately recognizable displacement occurring today, forced migration is an issue present in many forms around the world. From the government policy of dispelling Haitians from the Dominican Republic to climate-induced relocation to gentrification and urban housing, there is a need to rethink the traditional definitions of and solutions to forced migration. This panel will move beyond conversations about refugees in Europe to look at mobility, autonomy, and policy today. In other words, what is migration in the 21st century?
