 Europe Responds to the Migration Crisis: the Case of Germany

This course will provide an opportunity for students and faculty to explore various aspects of Germany’s current policies toward refugees and immigrants.  In Berlin, the group will meet with federal, state and local governmental officials,  civil society groups, and representatives of international organizations.  The issues to be explored include: Germany’s policies toward asylum-seekers, the relationship between these policies and the European Union, policies to integrate refugees and migrants into German society, and the political impact of these policies. 

The on-site Berlin seminar is designed to assess the efficacy of current policies, and identify best policy practices going forward. Includes two pre-departure sessions (one planning session, one webinar), and 5-7 follow-up sessions during the first half of the spring 2022 semester, culminating in a poster exhibit to disseminate our findings. 

Please submit your application no later than Monday, November 1 at 11:59 pm.
