Description: Human history is characterized by movement. As our capacity to move ourselves, goods, capital, services, and information has proliferated, so have walls, militarized borders, detention camps, and deportation. This course explores how law and policy define nation states and construct our identities. Taught by a human rights lawyer, and with the United States as a primary example, we will analyze our past and present and explore possibilities for a global future.
