Class Description:
The study of human migrations is today more global, more interdisciplinary, and more focused on the varied causes and consequences of movement itself. Migration Studies field is thus no longer limited to nation-building narratives or to discussions of race and ethnicity in a few 'nations of immigrants' such as the U.S. or Canada. This course explores issues related to migration from a variety of disciplinary perspectives and will compare and connect diverse migration trends around the world (Asia, Africa, Latin America and North America). Students will critically engage with various paradigms on the geopolitical, racial and gender power dynamics that anchor migration outcomes while interpreting each migration from global perspectives.
