Listening to Migrant Voices: What Borders Can’t Hide

Instructor: Carmen López Ramírez
Offered Fall Semester. Honors Foundation Course
What does it mean to leave home—and what happens when your story isn’t heard? This discussion-based Honors course explores the human side of migration through powerful narratives, media portrayals, and global case studies. You’ll examine how identity, culture, and belonging are shaped across borders, reflect on your own perspectives, challenge common assumptions, and learn how to communicate thoughtfully across differences. A creative project lets you bring it all together by highlighting real-world voices and global connections. If you’re interested in social justice, global issues, or making sense of today’s divided world, this course is for you.
