The Global Refugee Crisis: Cases and Controversies ((3 Credits))

Catalog description

This study will focus on intersectional identities and the changing nature [as well as the ongoing themes] in regard to bias and prejudice in the 21st century in global refugee policy [as determined at UN] and US refugee policy [as determined by Congress and US immigration law]. Various historic cases will be examined, to provide historical context and perspective on current global refugee cases, and contemporary humanitarian initiatives and public policy debates. This course examines themes such as gendered and racialized features of humanitarian relief; educational provision in resettlement host countries; special needs to support health and wellness of displaced populations. This course was previously LIB-640681.
