Given that the resettlement of displaced peoples into new communities is an ongoing need, with currently nearly 26 million refugees worldwide, this arising situation raises questions and invites conversation about how to best support these new refugees - and displaced peoples globally. In this Teach-Out, learners will learn about the short and longer-term implications of the multi-nation evacuation of Afghan nationals to other countries as well as ways to raise awareness about what’s happening in Afghanistan and help displaced people or refugees in their own communities.

Constitutional Struggles in the Muslim World (Coursera)

Law Social Sciences

Learn what motivates the restive Muslim youth from Tunis to Tehran, what political positions Islamists from Mali to Chechnya are fighting for, where the seeming obsession with Islamic law comes from, where the secularists have vanished to, and whether it makes sense to speak of an Islamic state. This course is a survey of the constitutional ideas and institutions that have developed since the mid 19th century throughout predominantly Muslim countries, but its focus will lie on the actors that have dominated this discourse and shaped its outcomes. We will look at the large body of classical writings on the Islamic state only in so far as it is necessary to understand the contemporary debate, but concentrate on the legal and political developments of the 20th and 21st centuries.
