FYS 1005 GLOBAL MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
According to the United Nations, 281 million people (that is, 3.6% of the world’s population) currently live outside their country of origin and a third of them were forcibly displaced. Why do people move? Who gets to move and who is prevented from doing so? What are the cultural, political, and economic implications of people on the move? This course explores different types of migrations, be they voluntary or forced, including cases of displacement and statelessness. Students will examine critical theoretical perspectives and case studies stemming from a range of disciplines in the social sciences, humanities, arts, and sciences to build a holistic understanding of global migrations and personal migration experiences.
