Oxford: Oxford University Press Beschreibung The arrival of refugees challenges host countries not only politically, economically, and culturally, but also morally: What do we owe strangers? How are we to conduct ourselves as hosts, what can we expect of refugees, and what can they expect of us? How does migration change our notions of the nation state and democracy? How do we interpret human rights in the light of increasing migration? What are we required to do, and what should we do in regard to root causes of migration? Students will immerse themselves both in theoretical foundations of an ethics of (forced) migration, and focus on practical questions that arise in the context of Tübingen’s own approach to refugees in the region. They will learn to strive for prudent judgement in regard to a comprehensive challenge of traditionally proven norms that is likely to change our conceptions of our humanity, our nation, and the future of Europe.
