The paper analyzes a global set of 428 peace agreements over three decades, finding that international norms on internally displaced persons have seen more limited uptake than commonly assumed. Max Bell alums MPP'24 Guadalupe Jolicoeur and MPP'24 Elsie Mares contributed as research assistants on the project.</p> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 17:58:02 +0000 webfull 219107 at /channels /channels/channels/event/event-mcgill-chemical-society-seminar-series-katherine-mirica-373698 Seminar Title: <p>Molecular Engineering of Conductive Framework Materials for Environmental Stewardship</p> <p> </p> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 15:00:10 +0000 webfull 219103 at /channels /channels/channels/event/mcgill-chemical-society-seminar-series-jt-donald-lecture-stefan-w-hell-373697 Seminar Title: <p>Fluorescence microscopy: a minimum for maximal spatio-temporal resolution</p> <p> </p> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:56:48 +0000 webfull 219102 at /channels /channels/channels/event/mcgill-chemical-society-seminar-series-jt-donald-lecture-stefan-w-hell-373696 Seminar Title: <p>How to overcome a supposed scientific barrier ... and what to make of it</p> <p> </p> Thu, 06 Aug 2026 14:54:31 +0000 webfull 219101 at /channels /channels/channels/event/summer-undergraduate-research-engineering-sure-2026-poster-presentation-373693 <p>Curious about the research our students and professors have been working on this summer?</p> Wed, 05 Aug 2026 19:14:43 +0000 webfull 219099 at /channels /channels/channels/news/service-interruption-mycourses-373691 <p>The <strong>MyCourses</strong> platform is currently unavailable.
