As civil conflict and increasingly dire economic situations spread across areas of the globe, refugees have left their homes in countries such as Afghanistan, Syria, and Somalia in search of a better future for themselves and their children.

In Critical Perspectives on Immigrants and Refugees, students will analyze this important issue and form their own conclusions based on opinions and data from experts, advocacy groups, and the media.
