Latin America in Motion: Migration and Crisis in the Post-globalization Era

Catalog description

This course introduces students to migratory systems in Latin America with a focus on case studies and analyses. We will explore key concepts related to international migration to debunk commonly held myths and beliefs. We will also examine other categories associated with the movement of people, such as refuge, asylum, and forced displacement. The topics that we will address include public policies on migration and the role of international and regional organizations in the management of migration. Students will analyze the unique experiences of each country, considering sub-regions, borders, and their territorial context. The course will also include the analysis of South-South migration. In this context, we will rethink the link between migration and crisis and notions of global and local and will consider the impact of the pandemic and post-pandemic periods on regional movements.
