The course brings together a dynamic group of students and international experts to discuss urgent issues of our time. Aside from discussions about select readings (not all those listed in each session), it will include ‘meet the author’ sessions (and possibly a joint effort to coordinate hosting the guest), a trip to Friedland Museum Transit Camp, and will engage with the International Lecture series Migration and Displacement – Histories, Stories and Myths, which will be coordinated with ROUTES: Migration, Mobility, Displacement, the UK Based Network at the University of Exeter. In addition students will get extra credit by attending as audience members an International Global LAB student virtual conference at Princeton.
