Refugees today constitute a major concern for many states around the world. Both the reasons for their displacement and their treatment in their host countries attract scholarly and popular attention. In the wake of World War One, the existence of refugees has become more complicated because of the collapse of multi-ethnic empires, namely, the Ottoman Empire and Austria-Hungary, and the lack of regulations regarding refugees while a new world order was taking shape. This course covers the changes in the concept of refugee in its historical context, recent realities of refugeedom with a specific focus on the Middle East and North Africa, and possible ways to improve the situation of refugees and preventative measures. Students will be assessed through weekly participation in the online discussion forum via Brightspace over the assigned course readings and videos, together with lecture videos and writing assignments.
