Immigrants and Refugees in the US, Spring 2009

Professor Judy Owens-Manley

Refugee Interview Project

Project Overview:

This website is the result of a Government 202 course, Immigrants and Refugees in the U.S.  The intent of the course was to explore issues pertinent to the resettlement of refugees today and, to a lesser extent, those of immigrants to the U.S.  The course begins a pilot project to produce a series of podcasts along with exploring policy options for the treatment of refugee resettlement in the U.S.  Students in the course were to acquire a basic knowledge of refugee issues locally, nationally, and internationally, explore one particular policy that affects refugees, and interview someone in the field of refugee resettlement to produce a podcast. 

These interviews are a result of their efforts.
