PUBPOL 3050
Refugee Pathways and Resettlement Policy

Course information provided by the 2026-2027 Catalog.

In collaboration with refugee resettlement centers in New York State, this community-engaged course will explore: the global systems of inequality that produce forced migration; the politics of who gets to be a refugee; the uncertain pathways from conflict to internal displacement and/or non-permanent settlement; and the policies and process that inform refugee resettlement in Upstate New York. Students will work on collaborative projects with refugee-supporting organizations in Upstate NY and will be required to attend at least one course-organized site visit to a partner organization in either Syracuse or Utica.
