Students will complete a series of four modules: Migrants and Refugees in the Global Landscape; Basics of Refugee Determination; Climate Change, Displacement and Human Rights; andEducation in Emergencies. These modules are informed by social work perspectives of person-in-environment and biopsychosocial frameworks and were created by subject experts, emphasizing the need for collaboration, interdisciplinarity, and transdisciplinary approaches to addressing complex social problems. Students will engage in online discussion based on the readings, media extracts, experiences of professionals in the field of humanitarian assistance and current global events affecting vulnerable populations in a global context.
