Welcome to Bugema University - E-Learning Platform.

Millions of people around the world have been forced from their homes by interlinked factors including persecution, armed conflict, natural disasters, development projects and socio-economic deprivation. Resolving large-scale displacement represents a critical challenge for contemporary peace building and development processes. This course will: (i) examine international, regional, national and local responses to the problem of forced migration; (ii) investigate the obstacles to effective protection and assistance for refugees and displaced persons; (iii) explore the challenge of resolving displacement crises, and (iv) discuss some of the moral dilemmas raised by forced migration. Students will examine various historical and contemporary cases of forced displacement, integrating diverse disciplinary approaches, including legal, political and moral analysis.
