Thinking about research
Whilst this is an Australian reference list of refugee studies since WWII - the research gaps are well worth considering before setting out!
The Human Security Gateway has a mere 2958 resources for your searching pleasure in the refugee and internally displaced people group!
Health & Human Rights; An International Journal is a quality peer reviewed journal offering free online access since 2008!
Talk to us if OOFRAS Inc can help you gather data. You could access forms/surveys with our JotForm account, phone casts with our Ipadio account, discussion board on our Facebook Page, or collaborative documents with Titan Pads linked to this site.
Add OOFRAS as a Skype contact - we'd love to support emerging researchers with 1:1 or group calls!
