The Summer Course provides an interdisciplinary, interactive and experiential approach to the study of forced migration. Through attending lectures and related small group sessions, course participants develop a deepened understanding of the political, economic, social and cultural contexts of forced migration, and the major state and non-state institutions involved in refugee protection and advocacy.
The program uniquely includes simulated refugee hearings held at the Immigration and Refugee Board, Toronto. Participants will have also an opportunity during the course for structured networking and idea collaboration through participation in a theme-based small group session. All participants who complete the full course receive a York University Centre for Refugee Studies Summer Course Certificate.
