Course Title:
International Migration
Course Number:
LRI 4021
Course Description:
This course is intended to provide you with an introduction to the patterns of migration and, more importantly, to the politics of migration, including the practices, police and discourses in which both sending and receiving societies attempt to manage and control migration. The course will seek to familiarize you with the contemporary literature and debates within migration studies. Along with this objective, it is hoped that the course will allow you to appreciate the strengths and weaknesses of the competing approaches within the field. While the course will tend to focus on the international relations aspects of migration, including refugees and the international ethics of migration, the course will also be interdisciplinary in that we will engage certain aspects of human geography, sociology, anthropology and history to enrich our understanding on how migrants negotiate, accommodate and resist these very systems.
