| Narratives of Displacement and the Search for Belonging: An Exploration of Border Crossing This course explores the human experience of displacement and the subsequent search for belonging. Displacement can include experiences ranging from international migration, internal migration, and the consequences of social mobility (up or down). Displacement normally means a shift in geographic location, but almost always has economic, social, and cultural ramifications as well. In each of these instances, those affected need to learn new skills in order to surviveand hopefully thrivein a new environment. We will also consider what constitutes a border, how boundaries are formed and maintained, and the skills and cost required to cross over. International borders are not the only ones that can be difficult to cross. Course readings include personal narratives and ethnographic accounts that engage the full human experience of what it means to be displaced and to search for a sense of belonging. As a class, we will also research and examine the historical reasons for experiences of displacement described in the readings. Finally, we will look at ways in which specific instances of displacement, border crossing, and the ongoing quest. | ||||||||
