Globalization, Mobility, and Education

3 credits

How have real and imagined borders shaped education? How should education evolve in light of globalization and new patterns of human mobility? Drawing on anthropology, sociology, ethics, and political-economy, this course examines the drivers of human mobility, the experience of im/migrants, refugees, and displaced persons, and the cultural logics of incorporation and exclusion. Topics include the psychology of othering, the politics of assimilation, the contested meanings of "diversity" and "multiculturalism," and the ethics of hospitality.
