Assessment 1: Written Assignment

Primary document analysis of a source (oral recording, photography, film, text, image) pertaining to refugee experience between 1914 and c1960.

<p>‘Refugees in Modern World History’ explores the political, social, legal, cultural and emotional history of refugees in the Twentieth Century.  It uses the buoyant historical scholarship in refugee studies as well as new archival collections, including those at the Holocaust Learning and Exhibition Centre, to ask how we can capture the refugee ‘voice’ in history and how this can help us reflect on the experience of displacement.  It also contextualises current notions of a ‘refugee crisis’ and the contested memory of refugee history in the media.</p>
