IE-7009 - Education in Conflict and Emergencies

Semester Credits: 3 Weeks: 8
In this doctoral level course, students will examine the theoretical underpinnings and practical challenges of education in difficult circumstances - in the context of conflict, emergencies and in a post-conflict environment. This includes the exploration of frameworks and strategies used today by education systems as well as international organizations and NGOs that often provide such services. Students will also explore education as a development strategy, including three overarching concepts: education as protection, education as a humanitarian response, and education as post-conflict reconstruction. This course also explores the impact that conflict has on formal systems of education, and the provision of education for refugees. Students are also introduced to key strategies and techniques that are frequently cited and used by educational planners delivering education in difficult situations. In conclusion, students are asked to conduct their own research to develop a deeper understanding of education in difficult circumstances.
