Migration and Integration: Refugees, Rights & Realities

Millions of people are forcibly displaced. What are the forces behind this number? What are the dynamics of displacement? And what agency do refugees and other forcibly displaced people have? This two-week online winter we will discuss these global governance issues from diverse perspectives such as sociology, geopolitics, international refugee law, and anthropology. We will focus on global politics, get an introduction in international refugee law and learn more about state's responses to refugee influxes. We will look specifically into a few displacement situations across the world and dive deeper into the topic of integration of refugees and the gender angle in displacement.

This graduate level online course and workshop will bring together students and working professionals interested in the study of Migration from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds.
