Course Description
In this seven-week online course community members will study, without pressure of graded assignments, alongside University of Arizona graduate students enrolled in the Human Rights Practice Program. Join cultural and medical anthropologist Dr. Mette Brogden as she explores the phenomenology of migration: the experiences of people undertaking the migration journey, as well as the participation of other stakeholders and players who are facilitating, trying to prevent, and/or otherwise participating in these journeys and arrivals. Dr. Brogden will introduce course participants to the field of refugee and migration management/deterrence and will host weekly virtual lectures with guest speakers from areas that are part of migrant journeys from Central America to the U.S., and from West Africa to Europe.
