Description
Global trends continue to show unprecedented numbers of forcibly displaced people worldwide. Countries have struggled with how to assist refugees and internally displaced people. Less than one percent of refugees under UNHCR mandate are resettled in other countries. This course explores the root causes of forcibly displaced people; the costs associated with such movements, including economic, physical, and mental health; the responses of world governments; and the work of resettlement agencies in assisting refugees. The issues and lessons learned from the experience of resettling and integrating refugees around the world are studied, including in Canada.
