Forced Migration and the Contemporary “Crisis” in Europe

Catalog description

This course will critically explore the contemporary debates in Europe on forced migration from an anthropological lens. We will approach the ideological construction of Europe through analyzing the relation of its (post-) colonial history to present discussions and policies related to migration, securitization, and citizenship. The themes we will cover include, but are not limited to, the “crisis”, the refugee camp, borders, race, gender, and sexuality.
