Immigration Today: Gender & Family ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

Millions of people move to make their livelihood in a country that is not their birthplace; transnational migration is the movement of such people across national boundaries. This course examines how contemporary migration affects family life both for those who migrate and for those left behind. We will explore how gender, race and class shape who migrates, how they migrate, and where they migrate. The course addresses topics such as: race and immigration policy; changes in gender relations, expectations, and intimacy among migrants; and the role of global economics in fostering and shaping contemporary mobilities. This course was previously SOC-283214 Immigration Today: Gender & Family.
