Description: Location(s): University Downtown Center Close Return to: Academic Degrees and Programs The Department of Human Development in the College of Community and Public Affairs offers a minor in Immigration Studies. The objective of this interdisciplinary minor is to grapple with the complex and multiple ways in which citizenship is defined and experienced at global, societal, institutional, community, and individual levels. The key focus is on the effect of contemporary conceptualizations of citizenship and their translation into policies and everyday practices on the lives of those deemed immigrants, refugees, or the displaced. The minor applies a social justice and rights-based philosophy to examine citizenship, immigration, emigration, and immigrant lives in transnational, national, and local contexts. A key emphasis of the minor is to explore the intersectionality of discourses on belonging, justice, and displacement in various global, national, and localized contexts. The requirements for the Human Development minor in Immigration Studies are as follows:
