This course introduces students to key concepts related to migration, immigrants, refugees, asylum seekers, and diaspora from an advanced generalist social work perspective. It examines historical and contemporary migration, relevant national and international legal frameworks, policies, and the rights of migrant and refugee populations. Students will explore the psychosocial, social, economic, health, education, and safety challenges associated with migration and displacement, including loss, adaptation, social isolation, poverty, employment, housing, and access to services. The course also addresses integration, inclusion, community support, identity, and belonging in national and international contexts. Particular attention is given to the role of social workers in assessment, support, advocacy, and intervention. Students will examine social work responses at micro, mezzo, and macro levels and develop their ability to identify needs, strengths, resources, and appropriate interventions when working with migrant, refugee, asylum-seeking, and diaspora populations.
