EDUC 246 - Forced Migration and Education

Explores forced migration through the lens of human rights, and specifically the right to a quality education. Students investigate the field of “education in emergencies,” what it is and how it works, specifically examining the role of external and local actors in addressing education issues in countries or regions affected by conflict or disaster. Drawing on human rights frameworks to explore refugee policy and its applications (particularly in the context of education), this course will challenge and expand students’ understandings of human rights as they are applied to refugees. Students seek to understand and assess education programs as part of a short term response to conflict and long term peacebuilding efforts.
