Within the United Nations (UN) system and allied organizations\, t erms such as 'local governance\,' 'local capacities\,' 'local ownership\,' and 'local agency' have been widely employed. However\, recent research h as revealed that the usage of 'the local' has predominantly been rhetorica l\, with limited practical implementation. Moreover\, 'the local' has ofte n been instrumentalized to promote a (neo)liberal agenda\, necessitating c ritical examination of its application.\n\nAgainst this backdrop\, this pa per takes the 'local turn' in humanitarian and refugee governance as a sta rting point to investigate grassroots mobilization facilitated by Refugee- Led Organizations (RLOs) within refugee camps. The objective is to compreh end the unfolding dynamics of 'localisation' in the context of humanitaria n and refugee governance in one of the world's largest refugee camps locat ed in Bangladesh\, where approximately one million Rohingya refugees endur e inhumane conditions. In particular\, this research aims to answer: What is the nature and extent of grassroots mobilization by Refugee-led Organiz ations (RLOs)? What is the nature of engagement and relationship between R LOs\, (I)NGOs\, and state actors? How do 'local agency' and 'local ownersh ip' unfold in complex emergencies?\n\nThe findings of the study highlight the ambiguity and contested conceptualization of the concept of the 'local ' among RLOs\, NGOs\, INGOs\, and government institutions. Due to 'legal c ompulsion\,' there is no 'formal' recognition of the existence of RLOs. Al though some RLOs work with international bodies\, there is a clear bias to wards larger and more 'important' RLOs\, resulting in discrimination again st others. Consequently\, this dynamic has engendered complex interactions characterized by ‘friction’. Despite receiving no funding\, RLOs enga ge in altruistic work for their community\, driven by the desire for a 're turn to homeland' and the building of a future for the Rohingya generation s. However\, in the context of increased criminality in the camps\, which I refer to as 'governance in dark times\,' national institutions have emer ged as coercive actors in refugee governance\, imposing stringent surveill ance measures on the refugees and RLOs.\n\nUsing a decolonial lens\, it be comes evident that power relations between (inter)national institutions an d local actors are asymmetrical and revolve around the rhetoric of 'us vs. them' and 'multilevel saviour vs. sufferers.' International institutions continue to employ an approach rooted in colonial modernity\, characterize d by 'capacity development/building\,' when engaging with RLOs. Despite th e immense potential for grassroots mobilization by camp-based community or ganizations (RLOs) within different Rohingya camps in Bangladesh\, partner ship\, mutual respect\, and opportunities for learning between internation al\, national\, and local actors are noticeably absent.\n\nSpeakers:\nDr S alehin Mohammad (UiT-The Arctic University of Norway) LOCATION:Queen Elizabeth House (Music Room)\, 3 Mansfield Road OX1 3TB TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/867e809e-b691-4a13-8f78-d09fdd6cd85e/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:The 'local turn'\, 'hybridity'\, and 'friction' in refuge e governance: an ethnography of Refugee-Led Organizations (RLOs) in the Ro hingya refugee camps in Bangladesh -

And yet\, the concept of the re fugee is disappearing. The introduction of policies that make it very diff icult for impoverished and persecuted peoples to get to Canada legally and policies that make it legal to incarcerate them for the crime of seeking a better life mean that refugees are being reconstituted as criminals\, qu eue jumpers\, and frauds. With this in mind\, Carrie Dawson’s most recen t research looks at the representation of refugees in contemporary literat ure and culture. For example\, “The Refugee’s Body of Knowledge” (To pia\, 2013) begins by considering the negative implications of recent amen dments to the refugee certification process. It foregrounds the waning imp ortance of narrative in that process and then asks what is lost when refug ees are denied the opportunity to tell their stories in meaningful and pol itically expedient forums. Similarly\, “On Thinking like a State” (Jou rnal of Canadian Studies\, 2011) explores the innovative and productive wa ys in which a number of contemporary Canadian writers have responded to th e state regulation of citizenship.\n\nAlthough Carrie is broadly intereste d in literary representations of citizenship and migration\, her published work spans a number of fields\, including ecocriticism\, the study of lit erary fraud/imposture\, and the end(s) of national literatures. She has pu blished essays on a number of contemporary writers\, including Michael Ond aatje\, Alice Munro\, Dionne Brand\, Thomas King\, and Peter Carey.\n\nFur ther details at: https://www.dal.ca/faculty/arts/english/faculty-staff/our -faculty/carrie-dawson.html \nSpeakers:\nDr Carrie Dawson (Dalhousie Unive rsity) LOCATION:Queen Elizabeth House (Meeting Room A)\, 3 Mansfield Road OX1 3TB TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/564eb880-55d8-4002-9367-d0ee6bcc495b/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Ransom tales: the refugee as storyteller - Dr Carrie Daws on (Dalhousie University) TRIGGER:-PT1H END:VALARM END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Defining political human security: the case of Rohingya refugees i n India - Ashvina Patel (Southern Methodist University) DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180515T130000 DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20180515T140000 UID:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/e0a53db3-9fb8-4cb6-be8b-32750fedd9c1/ DESCRIPTION:About the speaker: Ashvina is a doctoral candidate in Cultur al Anthropology at Southern Methodist University.

Unaccompanied young migrants usually have clear ideas abo ut the objective of their migration/migratory project\, shaped by their su bjective ideas and those of family members and social networks. These tend to relate to safety\, work\, education or social network/family reunifica tion or a combination of these. These projects are dynamic and change over time in response to subjective and structural factors. Drawing on 60 inte rviews with unaccompanied young migrants and refugees in cities in the UK and Italy\, stakeholder interviews and participant observation in receptio n centres\, this paper argues that the different ‘welfare constellations ’ and support set-ups in the two contexts are more favourable to certain migratory projects over others. These welfare constellations appear to be shaped\, in part\, by the national immigration control and welfare regime s. Young migrants are aware of such differences and make decisions\, take risks and migrate onwards accordingly over time. This challenges the myth of a common European system for unaccompanied minors and has important imp lications for how young migrants and refugees engage with and understand t he welfare state in a context of increasing surveillance and immigration c ontrol. \nSpeakers:\nJenny Allsopp (University of Oxford) LOCATION:Queen Elizabeth House (Meeting Room A)\, 3 Mansfield Road OX1 3TB TZID:Europe/London URL:https://talks.ox.ac.uk/talks/id/1f3b6238-ad44-4034-9b2c-191feabfc1bd/ BEGIN:VALARM ACTION:display DESCRIPTION:Talk:Unaccompanied young migrants and refugees coming of age i n the UK and Italy: pathways through immigration control and welfare regim es -
