Displacement Studies Minor

You will develop critical thinking skills by analyzing the complicated and intersecting causes of displacement, as well as the complex histories of refugees, migrants, and asylum-seekers. 

You will listen to the experiences of displaced populations and interrogate the societal structures, institutions, and government policies that contribute to the displacement of vulnerable human and non-human populations. You will also work closely with faculty and staff in VT’s Center for Refugee, Migrant, and Displacement Studies. Experiential learning opportunities include volunteering with groups like Elimisha Kakuma, Blacksburg Refugee Partnership, and Primeros Pasos.
