Community Engaged Research
Our world today is marked by greater numbers of migrants, refugees and displaced peoples than ever before. This has enabled both new forms of diversity and the rise of nationalist anti-diversity politics across the world, targeting ethnic, religious and racial minorities. Such politics are committed to keeping out migrants, often through measures that are profoundly cruel, unjust, inhumane, and deadly. This raises the question: do we have an ethical responsibility to helping migrants and refugees? The course will offer students the possibility of developing an in-depth response to this question through Community Engaged Research (CER).
The course builds on a number of introductory questions: How did we get ourselves into this situation? What is driving migration and what is driving our countries’ policies of inhumanity? Why is this such a difficult and sensitive issue? What responses have there been from social movements, civic and human rights’ organizations and citizens? And how do these draw on and transform much older traditions of sanctuary, refuge, hospitality, and human community?
The course begins with a multi-disciplinary academic immersion in the topic. At the same time, we will begin workshopping community engagement as a practice. Together, this will prepare students (working in small groups) to undertake community engagement with an organization, movement or individual working publicly to address migration-related issued and the completion of a project (written, multi-media, performative …) in close collaboration with that social organization, movement, institution or individual. By combining academic study and community engagement, students will develop their own vision and response to the issue of migration, even as they will need to negotiate with the community organization/movement/individual regarding the substance, form and goals of the project to be carried out.
