In January 2015, 15 students from Harvard Kennedy School and other graduate schools traveled to Jordan for a field study course to examine the public policy challenges associated with the inflow of the Syrian refugee population in Jordan. This course, led each year by Professor Claude Bruderlein, Strategic Advisor to the President of the International Committee of the Red Cross, and supported by the Belfer Center’s Middle East Initiative, is designed to analyze strategic approaches for navigating the long-term challenges and dilemmas of some of the most complex political and humanitarian issues. Students engage in experiential learning for three weeks, approaching the case as a means to further professional dialogue on complex issues, to build exchanges between Harvard University graduate students and practitioners in the region, and to shed light on the challenges of engaging in key dilemmas in the context of humanitarian action.
