Refugees, Forced Migration, and Belonging
This course explores the relationship between forced displacement and the nation-state, the changing nature of humanitarian emergencies in a globalizing world, and the role of diasporas in mobile place-making.
Forced Migration and the City
Cities have long served as “places of displacement” where forced migrants found safety, built livelihoods, dealt with risks and marginalization, and identified opportunities.
Cultures of Exile
This course explores both the concept and context of exile in the contemporary world from the perspective of those who experience it and contribute to transformations of the communities and cultures that shape their identity in exile.
