Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2023-2024.
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; the comparative racialization of refugees in the United States; the process by which refugees are resettled in Upstate New York; the challenges and opportunities of community integration in three Upstate NY cities; and the role of local schools and universities in promoting refugee justice and community building. 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 Buffalo, Syracuse or Utica.
