EURUS MA students Emily Nickel and Ben Globerman presented a joint paper at a graduate student conference on \u201cThe State of the EU in Canada and in the Pacific Asia<\/a>\u201d at the University of Victoria, which took place May 25-27, 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their paper was titled \u201cNorms in Crisis: Examining the Effects of Securitization on Political Discourse during Elections in Canada and the EU\u201d. It examined the strategic deployment of human rights norms in recent elections in Canada and the EU, focusing on how the \u201cflexibility\u201d of normative language affects the securitization of refugees. Through their research, Emily and Ben hope to contribute to a better understanding of how electoral strategy may influence the manipulation of norms, especially in times of crisis or heightened political interest in humanitarian issues. They also assess the potential effects of such developments on refugee protection. Their travel to Victoria was made possible by a grant from the ÐÓ°ÉÔ­´´ University\u2019s Centre for European Studies<\/a> (CES).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
