This lab course will seek ways to respond to these difficult, transdisciplinary questions on migration and movement.
Together, students and faculty will engage with current and historical immigration and refugee movement at the local, national, and global level. The course trains students with a variety of methodological tools that will be applied as teams of students and faculty explore resolutions
or approaches to these complex situations. Through engaging in research exercises that probe, interrogate, explore, and design collaborative group projects, the course will share their outcomes and the course experience beyond the classroom.
