This course provides a critical introduction to the health and psychosocial consequences of forced migration. The theoretical core of the course draws primarily from a public health perspective on humanitarian interventions and rights based arguments relating to health care of forced migrants. It explores the relationships between the state of being a forced migrant and the conditions that create vulnerabilities to ill health, specifically with regard to HIV/AIDS; mental and reproductive health.
