Founded in October 2020, RLRH supports individuals with lived experience of forced displacement to become leaders in fields such as humanitarian response, forced migration, human rights, and other areas identified by RLRH researchers and students. We deliver academic bridging programmes to an international cohort of students affected by displacement, facilitating access to graduate degrees and professional development opportunities across the world. RLRH also enables researchers with displacement backgrounds to lead primary and secondary research studies, from inception to completion. Our research agenda, guided by the concerns of forcibly displaced communities, aims to have a direct impact on policy and practice. A majority of RLRH colleagues and scholars identify as current or former refugees, asylum seekers, IDPs, and stateless persons. RLRH has offices in Nairobi, Kakuma refugee camp, and Oxford. Our network of colleagues, researchers, students, and other professional affiliates is comprised of 500+ individuals across 100+ countries. RLRH encourages applications from individuals who have been affected by displacement and others who may belong to historically under-represented groups including but not limited to those who identify as BIPOC, LGBTQI+, women, and differently-abled candidates. Overview of the Academic Pillar: The Academic Pillar (AP) is one of three programmatic pillars at RLRH. It delivers key academic programmes to support RLRH’s mission of advancing refugee leadership in academia, research, and other professional spaces. Core AP programmes include: ● ● ● RSC Pathways: A 12-week semi-synchronous online and in-person course for learners affected by displacement to study the main disciplines and themes in Refugee and Forced Migration Studies. Each cohort enrols more than 100 learners from a wide range of countries and academic backgrounds. Pathways is being adapted into an asynchronous offering, RSC Foundations, which will enable engagement of a larger set of students. In 2025, RLRH will design online courses in other subject areas. Graduate Horizons: A 3-5 month programme providing individualised mentorship for prospective students who have been affected by displacement as they approach graduate school application processes, opening possibilities for fully-funded scholarships at Oxford, 10+ partner universities, and other institutions across the world that are of interest to affiliates. More than 150 learners are enrolled in Graduate Horizons in each cohort, with 800+ benefitting from resources developed by the AP. Additional enrichment programming: Dynamic, short-term programmes offered throughout the year to Academic Pillar affiliates including workshops, trainings, blog-writing opportunities, book and film clubs, and more.

Social Sciences Division The University’s academic departments and faculties are organised into four large groups, known as Academic Divisions (Social Sciences, Mathematical, Physical and Life Sciences (MPLS), Medical Sciences, and Humanities). The divisions are responsible for academic strategy and operational planning, oversight of the teaching and research of their constituent departments and faculties, and for personnel and resource management. The social sciences at Oxford are distinctive for both their depth and breadth, with over 1,000 academic and research staff working across fifteen departments, faculties and schools. The Head of the Social Sciences Division is Professor Timothy Power. The Division is a world-leading centre of research and education in the social sciences. The Times Higher Education (THE) University Rankings placed the University of Oxford as number one in the world for Social Sciences in 2018 and 2019. REF 2014 confirmed Oxford as the UK powerhouse for research in the social sciences, accounting for more 4* research than any other institution. Our academic and research staff and students are international thought leaders, generating new evidence, insights and policy tools with which to address some of the major global challenges facing humanity, such as sustainable resource management, poverty and forced migration, effective governance and justice. As well as active 6 interdisciplinary links with researchers in other divisions at Oxford, we engage and collaborate extensively with other universities and a wide range of governmental and non-governmental practitioner communities such as law, business, public health and welfare, international development and education around the world. The Division has an extensive portfolio of external funders, partners and supporters, with competitively-awarded external research income exceeding £50 million per year and philanthropic income over £25 million a year. As part of our commitment to equality of opportunity, seven of our departments have achieved Bronze Athena SWAN Awards: the Blavatnik School of Government, Economics, Education, International Development, Law, Anthropology and Museum Ethnography and the Saïd Business School. The School of Geography and the Environment now holds an Athena SWAN Silver Award. All our other departments are either in the process of applying or scheduled to do so shortly. The Division delivers an exceptional range of high-quality educational programmes all underpinned by the innovative research being undertaken by our academics. The student body is made up of over 2,000 undergraduate students, nearly 3,000 students studying postgraduate taught programmes and 1,200 postgraduate research students. The programmes we offer are wide-ranging, often interdisciplinary and include professionally-oriented provision in areas such as business, law and education. The Division is home to several of Oxford’s most widely recognised teaching programmes, such as Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at undergraduate level; and at the Masters level programmes such as the Bachelor in Civil Law (BCL), Environmental Change and Management, International Relations, and Social Data Science.
