This course will examine trends in forced displacement, including protracted displacement, shifting geopolitics and drivers, and growing polarization. We will consider impacts on the social and economic inclusion of forced migrants, as well as how forced migrants affect and contribute to host communities where they live and resettle. The course will engage legal and policy dimensions of different types of forced migration (e.g., linked to conflict, natural disasters, and/or climate) and also cover several case studies, including recent responses to those fleeing Afghanistan and Ukraine, and consider their implications for future policy and practice.
