Politics, Migration and Education

Catalog description

This hands-on course explores the ways politics, migration, and education intersect in Italy and in western Europe more broadly. Worldwide, politics and immigration are upending long held beliefs about borders, integration, citizenship, and education systems. Through lectures, readings, discussions with experts, and site visits with NGOs, students learn about key challenges and promising interventions that support newcomers in Italy. Students hone their interview, observation, writing, and analysis skills to create a final paper or multimedia project in the process.
