Diversity, and Anticolonial Considerations: Immigrants and Refugees at German Universities
Lisa Unangst Register Here
Join Dr. Lisa Unangst as she uses a critical and historical perspective to explore how immigrant and refugee students have been racialized and how they access and experience college in Germany. Her discussion will address migration and displacement as drivers of student mobility, and specifically the German higher education sector where the vast majority of students enroll at public universities. Dr. Unangst will provide participants with an opportunity to consider how historical context, geopolitical developments, and higher education internationalization have melded to have a clear influence on student equity in the present.
