Religion, Gender Migration

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

This course explores how religion and gender shape migration experiences and transnational communities. Focusing on Muslim diasporas, including Shia Ismailis, students examine how faith, devotional practices, and gendered roles influence movement, settlement, and community life across borders. Through case studies and ethnographic analysis, the course highlights how migrants negotiate power, identity, and ethics, revealing the ways religious and gendered frameworks both constrain and enable repair, social cohesion, and ethical engagement in an interconnected world.
