FC SSCI CD

4 credits
Migration can be either willing or forced. This course focuses on forcibly displaced people (FDP) who migrate from their home communities due to persecution, severe loss of livelihood, or environmental pressures. The first module will deconstruct the nuanced concepts and legal frameworks pertaining to both internal and external displacements. The second module will delve deeper into environmental and climate migration. The third module will cover FDPs who become refugees in a foreign land and are settled in refugee camps. Students will learn about the environmental impacts and responses in refugee camps and explore sustainable and resilient solutions through case studies and projects. The course may include field trips to refugee resettlement areas in NE Ohio. Recommended Preparation: ENVS 201 and ENVS 208.

Prerequisites: ENVS 101.
