Global Migration Flows & Procs

Catalog description

The course will provide a broad overview of the histories, geographies, economies and politics of human migration across time and space. The key intent is to understand the reasons behind the displacement and dislocation of populations as well as the processes involved in population transfer across the globe in our contemporary era. However, our analysis of the present will be anchored in multi-faceted historical perspectives. In addition, the course will not only focus on the experiences of those who migrate, but will also concern itself with the impact of global migration flows on the spaces from which migrants originate as well as the so-called “host” spaces. Offered: fall only.
