Migration and Mobility

Catalog description

This seminar on transnational migration of people examines the processes by which immigrants leave their communities, the barriers to migration and mobility, the social networks that link together migrant countries/communities of origin and their country/community of settlement. Structural factors that compel people to cross international boundaries, integration and settlement, cross-border social networks, and responses to such migratory patterns will be evaluated. As such, special focus is placed on laws and policies, economic patterns, gender, and new directions in immigration research.
