In May 2020, the Global Arts + Humanities Discovery Theme will launch its inaugural offering of English 4554: Activism in Multiethnic London — Refugees in Crisis. With the city of London as its focus, this Education Abroad course will explore global migration in the context of the current crisis around refugees. Framed around five key terms – migration, suspicion, crisis, exhaustion and fusion — students will study cultural representations (art, literature, film, theatre, exhibitions and photography) with an emphasis on London’s rich history of immigration and present emphases on national security. Students will also study national and international policies and debates and meet with London organizations that work with refugees.
