Non-Residential Fellowship

The University of Auckland’s Centre for Asia Pacific Refugee Studies (CAPRS) focuses on generating and amplifying rigorous scholarly research, particularly that which is led by those with lived experience of forcible displacement.
To further this mission, CAPRS offers a Non-Residential Fellowship (NRF) programme. The NRF enables those who have recently completed masters or doctoral research to affect change: specifically, the ways policymakers, practitioners, or the general public discuss, view and act on the contemporary context of climate or conflict induced displacement in the Asia-Pacific region. Ideally, fellows will be individuals with lived experience of forcible displacement themselves. Explore more about the programme here.
Refugee Advisory Panel
The role of the New Zealand Refugee Advisory Panel (NZRAP) is to provide people with lived experience of forced displacement in Aotearoa New Zealand, with an opportunity to participate in the development of refugee resettlement strategies and policies in an effective and meaningful manner. The NZRAP aims to ensure that the interests, perspectives, and knowledge of refugees inform and influence strategic direction and policies on national, regional, and international refugee issues. The NZRAP represents a collaborative space for refugee communities, groups, and organisations to represent themselves and advocate collectively.
