EDUC 376 - Critical Inquiries into Refugee Resettlement and Education Semester Offered: Fall 1 unit(s) (Same as INTL 376 ) A goal of this course is for students to critically analyze notions of refugee resettlement and resettlement education in relation to the colonial and historical processes that re/produce and re/construct refugees. The course offers opportunities to explore refugee governance in both countries of protection and third countries of resettlement. Drawing on diasporic feminisms, black studies, and black feminist thought, students analyze and critique existing gendered and racialized resettlement policies and practices and move towards possibilities for reimagining resettlement anew. The course utilizes resettlement policy texts, documentaries, and primary documents to investigate resettlement educational programming in the US and in selected countries. The course seeks to explore these questions and more: How can refugee resettlement and education draw on refugees’ forms of knowing and legibility? What pedagogical possibilities open up when resettlement policies and practices are interrogated through the lenses of diasporic feminisms, Black studies, and Black feminist thought? How might the long-standing gendered and racialized policies and practices of the global refugee regime be ruptured? Mariam Rashid.
One 2-hour period.
