Global Migration

Catalog description

Provides an overview of major issues in, and approaches to, the study of global migration, including (a) foundational works in migration literature from history, anthropology, sociology, political science, and other disciplines; and (b) recent cutting-edge scholarship in the field. Major topics include voluntary and forced migrations, and the uneasy distinction between the two; race, gender, and class; immigration and border control; and diaspora and transnationalism. To facilitate this critical engagement, students write short response papers to different methodological approaches and themes in global migration scholarship.
