Perspectives on Refugee Labor in Migration Studies
This mini-course, consisting of 3 sessions, explores the conceptual frames on refugee labor within scholarly debates in forced migration research. It offers a space for discussing the emergent themes in existing debates in broader refugee studies to offer a critical perspective on the formulation of refugee labor as a subject of study. Research on this subject progressively moves among strands of theorizing refugee labor, from a utilitarian to a critical framework. The course is designed as a reading and discussion course in the form of interactive sessions. We will discuss questions such as “What is understood by refugee labor?” “What are the major debates in the literature of forced migration with regards to labor?” “What is the effect of distinguishing refugees and migrants?” “How can academic framework impact on empirical studies’ design and findings?” “What are the directions for future research in refugee labor?”
Language of the course: English (discussion in Turkish)
