critically the forces and institutions that dominate the world of the
displaced. Beginning with reflection on the diverse ways of
conceptualising forced migration, the course considers political, legal
and wellbeing issues associated with contemporary displacement.
Individual course modules also tackle a range of other topics, including
globalisation and forced migration, and negotiating strategies in
humanitarian situations.
