Falling back into the shadows? How to keep internal displacement on the humanitarian agenda
Media coverage often focuses on those fleeing their country as refugees, while internally displaced people remain less visible and beholden to national governments.

Another year of conflict simulation at McGill
The term is over, grading is done, and it’s time to look back at the 2025 edition of POLI 452 (Conflict Simulation) at McGill University. The class, as usual, consisted of forty undergraduate students: this time, 26 women and 14 men. Course performance was assessed through a series of midterm quizzes, a final exam, “simulation activity credits” (games and game-related events), and, of course, a serious gaming project.
