Still a World in Motion? Migration and Displacement in Times of Pandemic and Nationalism

4 credits · Undergraduate

This course will examine the social, economic, and political causes and consequences of global mobility, while considering whether changes brought by the pandemic, resurgent nationalism, or other factors might bring enduring changes to the global migration regime. We will draw on social scientific research on migration to answer questions about why people migrate, how states respond, and how these movements change politics and society in home, host, and transit countries, and to thus facilitate more informed policy choices.
