Great Decisions at the Library returns with the topic, “International Migration,” from 9:30 to 11 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 30 at Bethany Lutheran Church.

As a record number of migrants cross the Mediterranean Sea to find refuge in Europe, the continent is struggling to come up with an adequate response. Although Europe’s refugees are largely fleeing conflicts in Syria, Iraq and parts of Africa, their struggle is hardly unique.

Today, with the number of displaced people worldwide at an all-time high, world powers find themselves facing a difficult question: How can they balance border security with humanitarian concerns? More importantly, what can they do to resolve these crises so as to limit the number of displaced persons?

Kathie Friedman, associate professor of international studies at the Jackson School of International Studies, will serve as moderator for the free program.
