About Program
Engage with the cultural politics and economics of refugee integration and the ethical limits of the “business of help.”
Through site visits to refugee resettlement organizations and homestays in communities with refugee populations, you will learn about the importance of cultural and educational engagement for refugee integration. You’ll also reflect on potential solutions for the challenges faced by asylum seekers and the communities that support them.
Excursions to Poland and Germany provide an opportunity for a comparative analysis of how national political movements and refugee policies have affected the flow of refugees across Europe. You will also learn about the process by which refugees are supported and integrated into the cultures and economies of these nations.
