LAS 222 Migrant Childhoods: Art, Literature, and Human Rights
This course is an exploration of how art and literature make sense of the humanitarian crisis around immigration in North and Central America. We will center our analysis on the experiences of children and youth as a way to think through not just the legal questions of asylum/citizenship, but also the aesthetic dimension of how to represent displacement, and the power of art to bear witness to the urgencies of this historical moment.
