In the past century, massive movements of forced migrants have often caught the international community unprepared. Whether in the form of Ukrainians fleeing Russian invasion or diverse groups of migrants at the U.S. southern border, forced migration will continue to shape politics, economics, and culture in our globalized world for decades to come.
This seminar will introduce students to the key concepts, norms, and narratives of forced migration. We will critically examine legal and policy responses to population displacement in the international and domestic spheres, and explore some important aspects of forced migration, including human trafficking, unaccompanied children, and ecomigration. As part of our immersion in this complex phenomenon, students will have the opportunity to identify and write a short paper about a topical issue that interests them.
