RELI 265 - Religion and Migration

3 Hour(s)

This course explores current realities of global migration, the complex relations between religion and migration, and how refugees and immigrants are represented in faith communities and scriptures. Religious conflicts can force migration; religious beliefs can enhance migrants’ resilience and health; religious commitments and groups can guide or limit humanitarian responses. As part of the course, students will spend at least 30 service hours at organizations working alongside immigrants or refugees and will reflect on that work. The course also counts toward the REST or POLI or NFPM majors or minors.
