From the blog post:
"For a year spanning 2015-2016, Europe experienced sudden and massive arrivals of migrants and refugees, quickly dubbed a 'crisis' by the media. As of 2019, host countries in Europe are still dealing with the aftermath. But Germany has quickly risen to the fore for its initial welcome and the innovative approaches it has taken to accommodating the arrival of newcomers four years ago. Based on interviews conducted in the summer of 2019 as part of an intensive two-week study tour that explored the integration of refugees into German higher education, this blog post will briefly discuss Germany's approach to integration through higher education and how this has made for a German higher education landscape that is more inclusive of refugees."
