Education, Refugees, and Forced Migration
This course provides an opportunity for students to learn more about refugees and their experiences in their own words, while also comparing and contrasting their accounts with scholars, authors, educators, and policymakers who are writing about and influencing policies and practices in educational spaces and beyond. Students will learn about refugees' experiences – in both low-income and high-income countries – and critically discuss and debate what needs to change to foster more inclusive systems, structures, schools, and relationships in refugee-receiving and resettlement contexts.
