Reflective Essay on Refugee Artefacts and Refugee Law

The assessment promotes critical reflection utilising refugee artefacts to enable law and politics students to connect their theoretical knowledge and understanding of international refugee law and human rights law with the 'lived experience' of certain asylum seekers detained offshore on Nauru or Manus Island. The assessment encourages students to reflect on their own learning experience by identifying and explaining the connections between selected refugee artefacts (including letters from the Burnside/Durham Collection in the Fryer Library, semi-autobiographical books, radio podcasts, cartoons, documentaries or op-ed newspaper pieces) and refugee and human rights law.
