CSP 1 Expulsions: Un/documented Migrants, Refugees, and the Stateless

This special 8-unit CSP course is designed to immediately confront incoming Occidental students with the urgency of the contemporary global crisis embodied by forced migration, refugee flows, and statelessness. The essential conundrum students will be forced to face is how denial of basic rights produces such expulsions and, thus, how we must collectively think about how broader struggles for freedom, equality, and democratic representation are essential to counteracting the forces that impel expulsions at the global and local levels.
