Humanitarian Visas in Vermont and Beyond
This public humanities lab course will engage the topic of humanitarian visas in Vermont and beyond the state. We will learn about the various forms of humanitarian visas as historically defined by the US government including visas for refugees, asylees, trafficked people, and those who qualify for temporary protected status. We will study the histories of refugee resettlement in Vermont and learn from organizations that advocate on behalf of migrants. This course is part of the Axinn Center for the Humanities’ Mellon Foundation Public Humanities Initiative.
