November 13-15, 2026

The CIES Northeast Regional Conference on Education, Migration, and Displacement  will explore the complex intersections between education, forced migration, and displacement. As the global displacement crisis continues to escalate, with close to 120 million forcibly displaced persons worldwide, the impact on education systems—ranging from early childhood to higher education—requires urgent scholarly attention. This conference aims to provide a platform for students, scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to deepen our understanding of these themes, and to foster a collaborative, interdisciplinary dialogue around solutions and strategies. This conference is in person.

Key dates:

Proposal submission deadline: May 31, 2026

Notification of decisions: July 31, 2026

Conference registration opens: June 1, 2026

Conference registration closes: October 2, 2026

We are grateful for the generous support of our members, individual donors, and The Puffin Foundation Ltd
The core values of HRE USA and its partner organizations include transparency and critical thinking skills. We believe that human rights--and human rights education--belong to everyone, and that the full realization of human rights means that access to human rights education materials must never be conditioned upon the subscription to any particular religious faith, ideology, political affiliation, or membership in any particular organization and that any organizational connections should be openly acknowledged.
