This course seeks to connect issues surrounding the global refugee crisis to the experiences and
populations in our own community. The class will consider literary, philosophical, historical, and
anthropological angles alongside perspectives of refugees and migrants themselves through
interviews, documentaries, and literary texts, with France and the Francophone world as its
focus. The second part of the class will involve community engagement, with speakers, site
visits, and sustained, semester-long student engagement with the refugee community in Lincoln.
